The band will no longer play any of their other scheduled UK and European shows around that time either.
The Used have announced that they will no longer play this summer’s Slam Dunk Festival.
They were also scheduled to play a string of dates in the UK and Europe but will no longer play them either.
In a statement from the band, the cancellation is because of an opportunity “we absolutely couldn’t turn down.”
You can read the full statement below:
“We are very sorry to announce that we will not be able to come to the UK and Europe in May/June. An opportunity has arisen for The Used that we absolutely couldn’t turn down. (Big news update to be revealed ASAP!) We apologize to all our fans who already made plans to see us and we promise to make it up to you very very soon. In the meantime, if you’re heading to Slam Dunk – have a great time – it’s a killer line up and any tickets for our headline shows are refundable at point of purchase.”
