Statement from Moonspell:
With broken hearts, we must announce that Moonspell will have to sit out this tour, as our visas cannot be processed in time.

We know many of you were looking forward to seeing us, and we share your disappointment. The band and our agent are already working hard to bring us back to North America in 2027.

Please go and support this incredible tour! The mighty Blackbraid are stepping in, alongside with the amazing Worm and the fantastic Black Satellite remaining on the bill alongside our brothers in Cradle of Filth, whom we salute! 

We wish them all an unforgettable run!

Thank you for your respect, support and understanding. We hope to see you all again soon.

Stay under the spell.
