Primer 55 have announced that they will no longer be participating in their previously scheduled South American tour alongside Ill Niño and (hed)p.e. this April and May.
The run was set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ill Niño‘s debut album, Revolution Revolución, and included dates across Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. However, the reunited nü-metal outfit confirmed their withdrawal in a statement shared on January 4.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, Primer 55 will not be able to join our friends in Ill Niño and Hed for the upcoming South American shows this summer,” the band wrote. “We apologize and we hope to see you all soon.”
Primer 55 later clarified that their decision to step away from the tour is not related to the promoters or the other bands involved. At the time of writing, Ill Niño and (hed)p.e. are still expected to proceed with the tour as planned, with Ill Niño continuing their anniversary celebrations for Revolution Revolución.
