Godsmack cancels South American tour

American rock outfit Godsmack has canceled its previously announced tour of South America due to a “lack of ticket sales”.

The band fronted by Sully Erna announced that it has scrapped the trek, which was scheduled to kick off Santiago, Chile on April 21, Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 25 and São Paulo, Brazil on April 27, in a social media post.

The group wrote: “We are heartbroken to have to announce that Godsmack cannot get to South America in April as promised. We are so saddened by this as we’ve been trying for so long to make this work, but due to the lack of ticket sales, we simply can’t find a way to fund this tour at this time. Please know we’ve tried everything we could to make it work, but it has now gone beyond our control. We love and appreciate our fans and will remain optimistic that we will play for your country one day. Until then, our deepest apologies.“

Godsmack‘s brand new LP, “Lighting Up The Sky”, was released last month through BMG. The album was co-produced by Sully Erna and Andrew “Mudrock” Murdock (Avenged Sevenfold, Alice Cooper).
