HELLOWEEN Cancels North American Tour

August 19, 2006

HELLOWEEN's tour manager, Nikolas Krofta of Bottom Row Promotion, has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"Due to unforeseen logistical and organizational problems, the German melodic metal act HELLOWEEN unfortunately has to call off the planned USA shows and the BW&BK festival in Montreal. Despite good advance ticket sales (where pre-sales already where available),North American organizers of the tour could not guarantee an economical and adequate routing of the tour. Therefore a consequent cancellation two months before tour start seemed the band management to be the fairest for fans and promoters at this point.

"The band apologizes for this cancellation but under these circumstances they could not guarantee a proper show for their fans. Instead HELLOWEEN will include the North American market on their next 2007/2008 world tour to present their full show under best possible conditions."

HELLOWEEN's latest album, "Keeper of the Seven Keys - The Legacy", is available now on SPV Records. The lineup on the record includes singer Andi Deris, guitarists Michael Weikath and Sascha Gerstner, bassist Markus Großkopf and drummer Dani Löble (ex-RAWHEAD REXX).
