The band released a statement on Instagram that reads, ”We are extremely gutted to announce we will no longer be performing in Europe this coming May and June. With the increasing costs and our recent US tour canceling, we have no other option but to cancel our planned upcoming tour. We want to apologize first and foremost to City Rat, who worked tirelessly to get this tour put together. We also want to apologize to Pit Rock Fest, Sick Family Fest, SBAM Fest, SBSC Fest, Youth Brigade Fest, and Farewell Youth Fest. We hope that in the future we can return strong and perform for you all. Lastly we want to apologize to our fans. Most of you know that this is our life; we are heavily reliant on the financial aspect of all these things working out. Meaning it carries more weight than just a fun time for us. We tirelessly put in efforts in this band to give you the best tours, best shows, and best time for that 30 minutes to an hour we perform. We have let you down, and we hope to make it up to you sometime soon. Thank you.” The Last Gang released their album Obscene Daydreams in 2024. Check out the statement below.
