Unfortunately we have made the decision to step away from the tour supporting Landmarks.

We appreciate everyone involved and by no means was this an easy decision to be made, please do keep your ticket and see the rest of bands on that lineup and support them however you can.

An unexpected opportunity has come up for North America and we will share more on that very soon, thankyou.

 

..and Novelists add:

We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been invited to join our brothers in LANDMVRKS on their North American tour this fall! This incredible opportunity came together last minute, and while it means rescheduling our own headline tour, it felt like the right move to reach new people and share the stage with some of our closest friends.

The great news is: we’ll still be hitting many of the same cities we had originally planned, just with a slightly different timing and context. For most of you, not much changes — and for the others, we’ll make sure to come back stronger than ever, very soon. All tickets will be fully refunded, of course.

As a result, we also won’t be appearing at @sidfest and @bthmetalfest this time — but France, we love you, and we’ll see you again shortly.

Thank you for always rolling with us. We can’t wait for what’s next.
