Organisers of the Metal Alliance Tour have confirmed the jaunt has been cancelled after Entombed AD were unexpectedly “pulled” from the bill.
The Swedish band this week revealed they’d been removed from the tour without being given any explanation. Now organisers Continental Concerts say “unforeseen financial issues” are to blame for Entombed AD’s removal.
Nine remaining dates will go ahead as Deicide headline gigs featuring special guest support acts, Blabbermouth reports. However, it’s not clear whether the acts originally billed as part of the Metal Alliance tour – Hate Eternal, Black Crown Initiate, Lorna Shore and Svart Crown – will appear.
Continental Concerts say: “Due to unforeseen financial issues, Continental Concerts and the Metal Alliance Tour regret to announce that the 2015 Metal Alliance Tour has been cancelled. However, the remaining dates will continue as a Deicide headlining run, featuring special guests as support. Entombed AD is not on the bill due to the aforementioned issues.”
