Jake Steinhauser, the bassist and vocalist for Polaris, had to stay at home due to health concerns in his family, which led to that lineup change. Yesterday, Polaris made the announcement. According to the aforementioned group, the band will support German electronicore band Electric Callboy throughout North America during this new run with Neff. Scene Queen, a “bimbocore” artist, will launch that run, which is planned to visit the following cities.

olaris friends and family, we are so excited to finally be back across the pond to support @electriccallboy on the TANZNEID NORTH AMERICA TOUR! We’ve very much missed partying with our American brothers and sisters, and we are counting on you to welcome us back with open arms and loud voices!

Unfortunately our brother @jakesteinhauser has had to make the difficult decision to stay home for this run in order to be present for his family during some health concerns, which is something we fully support. With that said, we are very lucky to have our good friend @whosryanneff of @missmayibandstepping up to fill his shoes on bass and vocals for these shows. We will miss having Jake on stage with us, but we are very confident to be in safe hands with Ryan lending his expert talents to our camp for this run around his home country. We know you’ll make him feel welcome in the Polaris family and we can’t to bring you some killer sets. See you soon!
