Chris Taylor Brown from Trapt addressed recent venue cancellations in a video shared on Instagram.
“Trapt is in Pittsburgh tonight, and we had a couple venues cave to cancel culture in the last few weeks. It was going to be really hard to do the show, but we decided we’re doing it no matter what,” Brown said. “We got a stage together. We got this venue, called The Building For Arts And Culture. We got some Bud Lights, White Claw, and just everything that our fans are going to need to have a great time with us tonight.”
“I want to thank all the venues out there — it’s probably about 35 out of like 39 shows that didn’t cave to cancel culture,” he continued. “The couple venues that did in Pittsburgh… You know, they, trolls, they say… they lie about things I said five years ago and the joke I made. I did apologize for that, for my insensitivity, for anybody who was hurt by that.”
Brown added: “We moved on. Our fans have moved on. There’s a few people who haven’t, but we did this show. We were gonna do this show no matter what. I just want to thank Chase — he helped us put this together. He also was like, ‘We’re not stopping the show.’ It’s gonna be a great night tonight, and we’ll show you all the footage after we get done.”
The band secured an alternative venue in Pittsburgh despite the recent cancellations.
These recent venue cancellations represent part of a broader series of challenges for the band’s current tour cycle.
A report from The PRP revealed multiple setbacks in the band’s current acoustic tour. Several venues have dropped their scheduled performances.
The Mosh disclosed that Trapt’s removal from their upcoming Powerman 5000 tour occurred quietly. The reasons for this decision remain undisclosed.
Coverage by Metal Radio highlighted the band’s persistent commitment to live performances. They continue to seek alternative venues and maintain their tour schedule where possible.
The band’s management team has successfully secured replacement venues. The Pittsburgh show represents one of several successful relocations during this tour cycle.
