Well this just sucks. I was finally going to see New Model Army play and the whole friggin’ tour is cancelled because the United States sucks and can’t grant working Visas to a band. Hopefully this stuff gets fixed soon so the band can get over here to perform songs off their new album ‘High.’
Here’s what the band says on their website:
We have regrettably been forced to cancel the North American tour that was due to start this week. The US Citizenship and Immigration Service have denied the visas that the band require to travel to the USA and so until this matter is resolved all shows are on hold.
The band and management are extremely disappointed by this result as the tour was destined to be one of the greats. The new album is out, there is media attention in every city and the expectations are (were) high from the thousands of fans who had bought advance tickets.
The dates will be re-booked once the Immigration situation is resolved. In the meantime, ticket refunds are available from the point of purchase.
