Earlier this summer, Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas and his band the Voidz announced “The Immaculate Powerlords Tour”, an extensive fall trek across North America in support of last year’s LP Tyranny. Today, Casablancas and company have announced that the tour is canceled, as Exclaim! points out.
The band penned a statement (credited to “humbleLords”) explaining the situation. “We had set out to do something a bit different with these shows and create more of an experience that would be inspiring to our fans as well as to the band,” it reads in part. “In order to make this work we needed many pieces to fall into place that just didn’t.” Read their full statement below.
With great regret, we need to cancel our upcoming shows in North America.
We had set out to do something a bit different with these shows and create more of an experience that would be inspiring to our fans as well as to the band. In order to make this work we needed many pieces to fall into place that just didn’t.
Everyone will of course be given a full refund.
We are going to regroup and re-approach this in the way it was intended, and soon.
