NEWS: Taake cancels Seattle and Portland shows

Norwegian black metal act Taake has announced on the eve of its U.S. tour that they have to cancel the first two shows. Below is the official announcement.

MPORTANT U.S.A. ANNOUNCEMENT!

It is with heavy heart that we have to inform you that some of Taake's band members have not yet received their working visas.

We have been fortunate with this system before, having travelled to the States 3 times in the past 3 years. For this tour we started the visa process as early as we could, with a longer time buffer than before. Still, with the situation of all band members remaining unchanged from prior successful visa applications, time is now running out and we might have to cancel the first shows. Hopefully as few as possible. We are continuously doing all that we can to solve this quickly, but speeding up the process is totally out of our hands. We will keep you updated, please check this page daily. We would appreciate your understanding and patience..

Canceled shows;

20 May 2017: El Corazon, Seattle (USA)

21 May 2017: Star Theatre, Portland (USA)
