CANCER BATS To Support DANZIG On North American Summer Tour

Canada’s Cancer Bats have announced that they will be supporting legendary heavy metal band Danzig on their upcoming North American Tour. The tour, which kicks off on July 11th in Pomona, CA, will include Canadian stops in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. California punk rockers Pennywise will be direct support for the tour.

On joining Danzig and Pennywise this summer, lead vocalist Liam Cormier has this to say, “We’re so excited to be heading out with Danzig and Pennywise! Both bands have been our favourites since we first got into punk and metal, so now having a chance to tour with both is like a dream come true! We’ll be ripping the pit and head banging until we puke every night!!!”

Unfortunately, Cancer Bats’ shows on June 25th and June 26th in Calgary and Edmonton had to be cancelled. Cormier clarifies: “Calgary and Edmonton I’m so sorry that we have to cancel our upcoming shows in June! You know how much we love you ripping babes and bros and we wouldn’t do if we didn’t have good reason. The reason we can’t play is because we are coming back in July to party with FUCKING DANZIG AND PENNYWISE! IT’S GOING TO BE FUCKIN’ AMAZING! Sorry for June and see you in JULY!!!”

Cancer Bats released their fifth studio album Searching For Zero last month through New Damage Records in Canada. In support of the record, that band is currently on tour in Europe and the UK with While She Sleeps and will return to Canada for a headlining tour at the end of May.
