Anthrax peruuttaa Euroopan-kiertueensa jälleen ”logistisiin” syihin vedoten

Maailman suurin metallifestivaali Wacken Open Air on ilmoittanut thrash metal -legenda Anthraxin aikovan peruuttaa tälle kesälle kaavaillun Euroopan-kiertueensa jälleen vedoten ”logistisiin” vaikeuksiin. Wacken on julkaissut aiheesta virallisen tiedotteen ja voit lukea sen tästä:

“We sadly must announce today that the mighty Anthrax won’t make it to Europe and hence also not to the Holy Ground due to logistics.

“Sure you know that WOA and Anthrax have a long-lasting friendship, so you can be certain that they will be back on stage before you know it!”

Anthrax peruutti Euroopan-kiertueen myös viime vuonna samoihin syihin vedoten. Silloin yhtye viestitti aiheesta pettyneille faneille seuraavaa:

“When we originally planned everything, as we do — Anthrax has been in the U.K. and Europe forever, we have toured there; we have a great big fanbase there, and we love playing for them — we did a budget, as we do, the year before and before we put the shows on sale. After COVID, when everything went crazy, money-wise, financially it wasn’t feasible to do it anymore. When I saw the numbers, they were literally triple — triple to what they originally started at. We would be coming home at such a loss — you don’t mind a little bit of a loss just to play to the fans — but such a loss, we would have been really bad off for a while. So it didn’t make sense. When [we] looked at it, we said, ‘All right. There’s better times ahead.’ And that’s the way to look at it now. Look, heating costs and everybody’s gotta put food on the table. I get it right now. So it’s just a really hard time for everybody.”
