Five Finger Death Punch have said they’ll play a free concert at Tilburg’s 013 on Monday, June 19.

They’ve come under fire from fans after their chaotic performance at the venue earlier this week, which saw 5FDP play a shortened set because of infighting between frontman Ivan Moody and the rest of the group.

On Wednesday, Moody, who has suffered addiction issues in the past, admitted that he had “fallen off the wagon again” and will sit out the remainder of the band’s current European tour.

Bad Wolves vocalist Tommy Vext, who has stepped in for 5FDP previously, will take over vocal duties.

Guitarist Zoltan Bathory says: “Last Monday’s show was an avalanche of events largely out of our control. We could sit here all day and apologise but our fans in the Netherlands deserve better than that.

“They’ve stuck with us all these years and helped get us to where we are today. So, we managed to re-route our tour and come back to Tilburg and play a free show on our day off – because actions speak louder than words.”

Ticket holders from this week’s show should receive an email from the venue with instructions on how to obtain their free guaranteed priority tickets.
