Entire Decibel Magazine Tour Cancelled

The entirety of the ninth annual Decibel Magazine Tour, which was to include Mayhem, Abbath, Gatecreeper, and Idle Hands, has been cancelled.

Say the tour’s organizers in a statement:

“In an effort to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous states and cities on the Decibel Magazine Tour routing have announced bans on gatherings in excess of 250 or 500 people (with many more expected to do the same in the coming days). As a result, we have been forced to cancel the Decibel Magazine Tour. Though it pains us to see so many plans disrupted as a result, we must remain committed to ensuring the safety of the bands, their crew, venue staff and, of course, the fans during this time.

“For ticket refunds, please inquire at point of purchase. Thanks for your understanding and support of Mayhem, Abbath, Gatecreeper, Idle Hands and Decibel.”

The tour had already called off two dates earlier today.
