The Awakening cancel their entire UK tour “due to injury”

The South African gothic rock band The Awakening has cancelled their entire UK tour, which was due to start tomorrow (31 March 2026) in Scotland’s capital Edinburgh, “due to injury”:

“We are devastated to announce that The Awakening’s Dark Carnival UK Tour has been cancelled due to injury. Ironically, the injury occurred while trying to get to the UK yesterday. I spent a stressful day, mostly stuck on the runway in a plane waiting to take off from St. Louis to connect in Chicago, which was hit by bad weather. My plane never left St. Louis, my connection was missed, and during one of the chaotic times we had to board and deboard, I injured my back while moving luggage. The Awakening has never had to cancel a tour before. So much work, love, energy, time, money and passion have gone into setting this one up, only to have this happen. I especially want to thank our team who worked so hard to bring The Awakening to the UK […] and, of course, all our fans who continue to be so generous with your love and support.”

The band around frontman Ashton Nyte concludes their statement by saying that tickets “will be refunded from the point of purchase. My sincere apologies to everyone affected.”
