A few days before the start of their world tour to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the metalcore band, Crossfaith announced that they have decided to cancel the whole world tour, which was scheduled to last for three months. The metal band was planning to be in Europe from the end of October through the end of November for this specific Atlas of Faith World Tour.
In a message, shared in Japanese and English on their social media platforms, the five-piece stated that they are currently in a situation where it is difficult for the band to continue the live shows, and after discussions, they have suspended their live activities (and thus touring) for the time being. The band added that they try to plan another tour hopefully for 2023.
The band also had two shows planned at Spotify O-EAST as a world tour final, of which one show was sold out, and NITROPOLIS vol.3, these shows will also be cancelled and rescheduled for 2023 as well. Earlier, on the 20th of August, the band announced that they had to cancel their shows in Mexico and Brazil due to unforeseen logistical circumstances.
Furthermore, they have added that although they have no prospect for the resumption of live performances as of today, the band will announce new plans to return as soon as they can.
The full statement can be read below.
