Band scrapped entire tour due to late festival withdrawal
Metal band Attila, known for their rap and nu metal influences, has abruptly cancelled their entire European tour, leaving fans and promoters in the dark about the reasons for the sudden cancellation.
The tour was scheduled to start at an undisclosed location in Europe, but less than 24 hours before the first show, Attila went "radio silent" and ceased all communication with promoters and their management [1][3]. The band's European tour driver and crew were left waiting with no explanation.
Attila later claimed that the cancellations were due to "extreme unprofessionalism" from an external party involved in the tour’s organization. However, promoters described the band’s behavior as reckless and unprofessional because of the sudden disappearance and lack of communication [4][5].
The band's apology to their fans was posted on their official Instagram account, but they did not specify who or what company crossed their boundaries [2]. The band's frontman, Chris Fronzak, responded to a fan on Twitter, stating that they did every single thing right and got "absolutely fucked over" in Germany day 1 [6]. Fronzak also mentioned that he will not deal with anyone's bullshit anymore.
A fan responded negatively to Fronzak's statement, suggesting that Attila should recoup, reassess, and rebuild. Fronzak and the band have remained silent publicly since the cancellation, with their social media largely inactive, leaving the reasons unclear beyond the conflicting statements from the band and promoters [1][2].
Attila has toured across the United States with various bands, including Hed PE, Arsonists Get All the Girls, and Falling in Reverse [7]. Their most successful album, About That Life, was released in 2013 and debuted on the Billboard 200 chart at number 22 [8].
