Porno For Pyros has postponed their upcoming first tour in 25 years.
The band, who scheduled a North American fall tour, was planning to celebrate their 30th year with their first tour in 25 years. The band revealed that the postponement was due to working on new music, which didn’t convince their fanbase.
The news was shared on the band’s social media accounts with a photo from one of their shows, followed by the following statement in the description:
“Petrons, We are beyond thankful for all of your support these last 30 years and are anxious to celebrate our 30th anniversary with you. Whilst rehearsing for our first tour in 25 years, we’ve also been in the studio creating new music – that we were hoping to get to you in time for these shows. Unfortunately, we have had to move the dates for the upcoming tour as we were not able to begin our campaign in time.
So, we’ve pushed the tour a few months from now in order for everyone to hear and appreciate the new material that is finally finished. Listen up for the new music in the upcoming weeks, and keep an eye out for new tour dates. We’re coming!”
Some fans claimed that the band was not telling the truth and that the tour was postponed due to low ticket sales.
A Twitter user commented:
“Translation: ‘We can’t even sell tickets to a casino show in suburban Philly. Perhaps new music will help?’ That’s two for two canceled on me in the last 26 years.”
While another fan wrote:
“Gotta say that I’m pretty disappointed. Got flights and hotel booked for the NYC show. Ticket sales have been poor. The NYC show had lots of general admission floor tickets available even after they dropped the ticket price. This wasn’t totally unexpected, but still…”
Last year Porno For Pyros reunited to perform for the first time in more than 20 years in a sold-out show in Los Angeles. Following the show, they performed in the four-day music festival Welcome To Rockville, followed by Lollapalooza. Since then, the band has not performed live and is now focused on creating new music.
