Hard rockers Halestorm have had a rough year of it. In 2021, the band headed out on a bigass co-headlining tour with Evanescence, only to have to postpone certain dates due to outbreaks of COVID within their camps. Now, it looks like the band’s ‘An Evening With…’ tour in Europe this spring has been outright canceled.
Live Nation Poland posted the following statement to their Facebook: “To all of our European Freaks, we’re sorry to inform you that due to the different restrictions in all of the countries we were planning on traveling to, it is logistically impossible to bring our Evening With Tour to mainland Europe this February. These shows have been canceled. Check your inbox for refund information or get it at your point of purchase. We hope you all understand that this was out of control and we are looking forward to announcing some exciting shows in the future.”
Meanwhile, the band themselves tweeted the following message: “We’ve got good news and we’ve got bad news. Due to the different restrictions in all of the countries we were planning on traveling to, it is logistically impossible to bring our Evening With Tour to mainland Europe this February. These shows have been canceled.
“Check your inbox for refund information or at point of purchase. The Good News is that we are still planning on coming to the UK + Ireland. We hope all of our European Freaks understand that this was out of our control and we are looking forward to announcing shows soon!”
While this is obviously a bummer, it makes a ton of sense. Europe has been super hardcore about COVID since the very beginning, and given how us Americans, well, haven’t been, we can imagine that an American band coming over to cross a bunch of borders would quickly become a huge pain in the ass.
