Sons Of Apollo have been forced to cancel their upcoming European summer festival slots due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
Mike Portnoy, Derek Sherinian, Billy Sheehan, Jeff Scott Soto and Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal were due to play Wacken Open Air tomorrow and Prog In The Park later this month, but they’ve announced those shows will no longer take place.
The band say in a statement: “Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, Sons Of Apollo regretfully has had to cancel all remaining summer festival appearances at Wacken Open Air and Prog In The Park II.
“We sincerely apologise to all of the fans that were looking forward to these appearances.
“The headlining show in Budapest originally scheduled for August 18 has now been moved into our fall schedule and will now happen on September 17. All tickets for the originally scheduled Aug date will still be honoured.”
Sons Of Apollo have also announced four German shows, which will take place in October – part of the band’s autumn European tour which will go ahead as planned.
