The Acacia Strain postpone Australian tour to 2024

The Acacia Strain has been forced to postpone the band’s upcoming Australian tour. Earlier this month drummer Kevin Bouot abruptly left the band after nearly 18 years with the group.

The Acacia Strain has rescheduled their Australian tour to begin in January 2024, with support from Dying Wish and Volatile Ways.

The band produced a statement on ther matter, which you can read below:

As many of you are likely already aware, our recent Canadian tour was the last tour for our long time friend and drummer Kevin Boutot.

We wish him and his family well, and thank him for his many years with the band. The unexpected change has caused us to need to move this tour around through. In an effort to make sure that we have a new drummer solidified before we play this AU tour.

We have had to move it to January of 2024.
The good news is that the lineup remains the same, so Dying Wish and Volatile Ways will still be joining us for the tour.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in January.
