Five Finger Death Punch Will Miss Their First Show on Metallica’s Tour, Floor Jansen to Fill-In

0

In just a few days, Metallica will kick off their massive world tour in support of 72 Seasons in Europe. Coming along with them for the ride are Architects and Mammoth WVH for the first night and Ice Nine Kills and Fine Finger Death Punch for the second night. Except that won’t exactly be how it plays out this coming Saturday.

Earlier today, Metallica took to Twitter to announce that Ivan Moody and the rest of Five Finger Death Punch won’t be joining them for the April 29 in Amsterdam, citing “unforeseen circumstances.” As a result, they’re tagging in Nightwish frontwoman Floor Jansen to perform a solo set in support of her release Paragon.

While no one from Five Finger Death Punch has elaborated as to why they’re missing that first show, Jansen immediately hopped on Twitter to express her excitement at the opportunity.

It’s yet to be seen whether FFDP will miss more shows or not. Until we learn more about why they’re not performing in the first place, this just sounds like a one-off situation. You can check out the full list of dates and venues below before picking up your tickets today.
