The American deathgrind band Cattle Decapitation has announced the cancellation of their European summer tour, which was set to commence on June 4, 2025, at Sweden Rock Festival and conclude on June 25 at Rock Imperium in Cartagena, Spain. The decision was made due to unforeseen circumstances, including concerns about the mental well-being and personal situations within the band.
In an official statement, the band expressed:necrozine.com
The cancellation affects several major festivals, including Download Festival, Copenhell, Graspop, and Hellfest, as well as headlining shows featuring bands like Fit For An Autopsy, Incantation, Skeletal Remains, and Severe Torture.
This development follows the recent departure of longtime bassist Olivier Pinard, who left the band earlier this year to focus on his work with Cryptopsy and personal life. He was replaced by Diego Soria, known for his work with death metal acts Broken Hope and Disgorge.
While no direct connection has been made between the lineup change and the tour's cancellation, it marks another significant shift during what appears to be a turbulent time for the band.
As of now, there is no information on rescheduled dates or future plans. Fans are encouraged to stay updated through the band's official channels for any announcements regarding upcoming tours or releases.
