Portuguese goth metal legends Moonspell canceled their UK and Ireland tour because of “the huge financial crisis UK and Europe are living through that affects entertainment sales.” The tour was supposed to go on from November 30, in Colchester, through December 11, in London.
The band have released a statement via social media, earlier today:
“By agreement with the majority of the promoters and our agency, we have decided to CANCEL our Fullmoon Over The UK-IRE tour.
We are obviously desolate in bringing such sad news yet we had no other option. The reasons behind this decision are, as you can imagine, the huge financial crisis UK and Europe are living through that affects entertainment sales.
We wish to meet you under better circumstances and will work hard to bring a show that is worth your money and time, hopefully in 2023.
To everybody who bought a ticket please accept our apologies and gratitude. You can ask for your refund at your ticket provider.
To all the promoters, we sincerely thank you for your efforts and preference and hope to work together again in a near future.
The shows in Greece, Israel and Dubai are going to happen and are not affected by this cancellation.
Thanks for your support, under the spell!!!”
