News : Hypocrisy tour cancelled (unsurprisingly)

By on January 9, 2013

According to a post over at Blabbermouth, Hypocrisy have pulled out of their first Australian tour. Rumours and worry have been flying around since Oceanic Sharks, the booking agency, allegedly skipped town during their recent Warbringer tour with all the cash, but it seems now it’s official.

Hypocrisy mainman Peter Tägtgren commented;

“[The promoter] hasn’t yet provided us with flights or working visa for this tour and we’re forced to leave next Monday, January 14. We have asked time after time after time, and even put up a deadline to deliver that, but he has failed to do so for three months now. It’s so close that it’s all too late now. We can’t even get into the country even if we had flight tickets, ’cause he didn’t fix working visa for us yet. I can only hope you get your money back for the tickets you bought, and that [another] booker from Australia will invite us soon so we can finally go to your country.”

We assume all tickets will be refunded automatically, for those that purchased online. If it was through a store, return it to your place of purchase.

And as a side note, despite the fact that the Metal Obsession logo is still appearing on the flyer, we’d like to make it public that we requested our name be removed from anything Oceanic Sharks related quite a while ago. It seems they just couldn’t be bothered…
