Cattle Decapitation have canceled their planned summer European tour. The group announced on Tuesday (3rd), citing concerns about mental health and personal matters within the band.
The group revealed:
“Due to circumstances beyond our control that arose in the last 24h, in addition to the mental well being and personal situations occurring within the Cattle Decapitation camp, we regrettably must cancel our European summer festival tour. We understand and apologize for the inconvenience this causes for all parties involved, as well as to our European fans, but unfortunately we have no way of still making this tour work”
The late cancellation directly impacted Sweden Rock Festival, which began today (4th). Unable to secure a replacement act on such short notice, festival organizers reshuffled the lineup by moving Horndal to the Sweden Stage.
Festival organizers issued the below statement:
“We regret to inform you that Cattle Decapitation, with short notice, has canceled its European tour that was supposed to have started with us at Sweden Rock Festival tomorrow. Of course we think this is extremely boring! Due to the short notice, we are not able to replace them with a new band. Instead, celebrated Horndal, may move up to Sweden Stage! Horndal recently played in front of a sold out Circus – and now it’s time to take over Sweden Hill. Come give them a warm welcome tomorrow afternoon!”
