DEATH Metal kings Vader have put their Australian tour back to November, citing the war in the Middle East.
The Poles were to be on Oz next month but have issued a statement announcing the change of plans.
“Dear fans of Australia, Vader have had to make the difficult decision to reschedule our Australian Tour dates due to the conflict in the Middle East,” the statement read.
“We cannot risk the flights being cancelled and everyone losing out. We have worked out with our Australian promoter Hardline Media, on some new dates in late November. Please hold onto your tickets; your current ticket/s transfer directly to the rescheduled dates. We will see you in November, we cannot wait to return.”
Hardline media also issued a statement, saying: “Hi fans of Vader, the current situation is not safe and is getting worse by the day it seems.
“The band and management’s safety is paramount; we back their decision and have sorted new dates in late November. Please note, if you cannot make these dates, simply contact Oztix or Hardline, and we will sort a refund, or a swap to a different tour of your choice.
“If you have spent money on flights and accommodation, let us know, we can help out maybe with letters to the hotels and flight carriers. We don’t want anyone losing out here.
“Also, and this is an important note, when things like this happen, a lot of the times the venue is forgotten about, their financial loss can be huge, as many of these venues are not pubs, they only open for live music and derive the majority of their income from live music.
“We have long relationships with these venues on this tour, being both Crowbars in Brisbane and Sydney, and the Croxton in Melbourne. We have put the call out to some local bands to put on gigs to fulfil these nights, with a very low entry fee, and a good solid local line up of metal.
“At least then the venues can recoup something. When these are sorted, please jump on board to support the venues because without them, none of this would happen. All our other tours are safe due to their routing and won’t be affected. Thanks for your understanding”
