My Dying Bride have apparently scrapped all of their 2024 touring plans, including next month’s ‘Maryland Deathfest‘. While the band have yet to issue a statement on the matter as of press time, the organizers for the aforementioned festival revealed the news today (April 09th), along with a replacement for the veteran British doom metal band.
Here’s what was said:
“After 2 months of not receiving responses to our emails, My Dying Bride have recently informed us that they are cancelling all of their confirmed shows in 2024.
We suspect that the band will be posting about this soon, but we’re not waiting around for that because the fest is next month and you deserve to know now.
In addition to the approved visas that will now go unused, our frustration stems mostly over the fact that there are fans who organized travel around their appearance at MDF, only for the band to cancel in the 11th hour without offering a legitimate reason for doing so.
Despite the short notice, AGALLOCH have confirmed to fill the vacant slot on Friday 5/24.
This will be an exclusive East Coast appearance for the band – their first such appearance since 2014.”
