RAVAGE – Denied Entry To Canada, Some Shows Canceled

Malden, Massachusetts (USA) metal act RAVAGE has issued the following tour update:

“Hi everyone,

There are a lot of rumors going around and confusion as to what happened with our Canadian tour, so here is the explanation. Suffice it to say, we made every effort we could to make it to the shows and we were very much looking forward to playing Canada for the first time, but despite our best efforts, we were denied entry due to the promoter not filing the correct paperwork. We were held up at the border for hours by no fault of our own, threatened with arrest if we tried to enter again without the proper documents, and we were unable to send any communication about what was going on. Furthermore, as a result of this, the planned shows in Toledo, the Chicago area, and St. Paul MN will have to be canceled or rescheduled (we are working on that and will update you all as soon as possible). At this point the tour is set to resume in Philadelphia PA at The Stabin Cabin on Sept 2nd.

It looks like the Montreal show will be rescheduled for November 25th with a new promoter who should be able to take care of things properly. We apologize to anyone who was looking forward to seeing the band and to the promoters who did their jobs – we’ll make it to your area ASAP.

We hope to see you all there. Thanks to everyone who has come to the shows and has picked up a copy of the new album.

The members of the SOCIETY FOR WORLD WIDE RAVAGE shall soldier on with our mission to bring traditional heavy metal back to the masses… we’ll see you at the upcoming shows. Till then, RAVAGE IN PEACE!!!”
