In a turn of unfortunate events, the highly anticipated Machine Killer Tour featuring Static-X, Sevendust, Dope, and Lines of Loyalty faced cancellation just minutes before its scheduled show at Hop Springs Beer Park in Murfreesboro, TN last night (11th). The cancellation was prompted by inadequate venue security measures, prioritizing the safety of attendees. Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase. Despite the setback, Static-X and Sevendust expressed their regret, assuring fans of their efforts to find an alternative solution and bring the show to the area soon.

In a joint statement, Static-X and Sevendust expressed:

“With a gathering of fans lined up for hours hoping to see The Machine Killer Tour and all of the band’s equipment staged and ready this evening in Murfreesboro, TN; it is unfortunate that Sevendust and Static-X were forced to cancel tonight’s performances. The show scheduled to take place in minutes at the Hop Springs Beer Park is being scratched after officials forced the show to be canceled due to inadequate security measures. The artists, promoter and venue tried valiantly to come up with a solution, but in the end – the safety of everyone took precedence.

“The last thing any band ever wants to do is to cancel a show. We were all here and ready to play when we were given the news that officials had shut the event down due to inadequate security measures. We wish this didn’t happen and are working to figure an alternative to bring the show to the area as soon as we can,” explains Static-X and Sevendust in a joint statement to the press. Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase.”
