Well, here we go again. It shouldn’t be this complicated to come over here and perform for people who want to see it but alas, it’s nothing but hurdles. That’s what’s currently happening to Dogma—or, I guess, not happening for them just yet—who just announced they have to postpone their U.S. tour due to visa issues.
Yesterday (Sunday, March 14), Dogma shared the following on their socials:
“Dear Sinners,
“Due to unforeseen delays in the visa processing timeline, Dogma must postpone our upcoming U.S. tour dates.
“After months of preparing for these masses, it hurts to delay the moment when we were meant to finally gather with our U.S. sinners.
“The first masses where our new songs were meant to be revealed will now arrive later than we had hoped.
“We are currently working with promoters and venues to confirm the rescheduled dates, which will be announced soon. All previously purchased tickets will remain valid.
“We were ready to meet you. Ready to open these rituals.
“Now we must wait a little longer.”
To be fair, this isn’t the only bit of tour drama Dogma have experienced recently, or bit of drama involving the band in general (or, at least, the original iteration of the band). Hardline Media canceled their Australian tour after three of the mainstays—singer Grace Jane Pasturini and guitarists Amber Maldonado and Patri Grief—were replaced. The three have since moved on to form VindictA, but not without Dogma damage done by their former management, who they claimed manipulate and mistreated them. Good grief.
Hopefully, Dogma as we know them now will be able to make it over here at some point.
