Postponed Until Year-End - Tour across Europe comes to an end before year's conclusion
In a surprising turn of events, Swedish rock band Mando Diao has announced the cancellation of the rest of their European tour for the remainder of 2025. The news, shared on their official Instagram page, has left fans disappointed and wondering about the band's future performances.
The band's last Germany concert in Lüneburg, which took place about ten days ago, was abruptly ended after only 80 minutes. The audience, who had been eagerly waiting, were left disappointed as the band left the stage without finishing their hit "Dance With Somebody".
The cancellation has affected several upcoming concerts in Germany. The H2U Festival concert in Switzerland, scheduled for August 15, was also cancelled at the last minute. The next stops in Germany, Lüdenscheid (August 22) and Osnabrück (August 30), where Mando Diao was scheduled to perform at the "Tag der Niedersachsen" state festival, are also affected by the cancellations.
The band's president did not provide a reason for the early cancellation of their tour, but in an interview with spot on news in 2023, lead singer Björn Dixgård expressed his appreciation for German fans and the German culture.
However, the band has stated that the cancellations are due to "personal reasons". They apologised to their fans and expressed their desire to return to the stage and share music again in the future. The specifics of their future performances are not specified in the announcement.
The Lüneburger Landeszeitung, ZO Online, and spot on news have reported on the cancellations, with the Lüneburger Landeszeitung being the first to report the incident. It is worth noting that just a few days earlier, the band had posted that they were energized and excited to be back.
Mando Diao values their connection to German fans and the German culture. In the past, Björn Dixgård has spoken about this connection, expressing his gratitude towards the German fans for their support and appreciation of the band's music.
The band's fans are hopeful that this is a temporary setback and that Mando Diao will return to the stage soon. In the meantime, they continue to wait and hope for updates from the band.
