[CANCELLED: March 4 & 5, 2022] Circa Survive / Tigers Jaw / Soul Glo
I feel like I should have known Circa Survive. When this tour was announced there was a lot of hype about it. I mean, two nights at Union Transfer! (they are a Philly band after all). This was to be a tour of their ten year old (sort of) album Blue Sky Noise. They’re alt and emo and I’m just really surprised I’ve never heard them. The hype made me interested enough to check out the album and I liked it (although I’m not sure of Anthony Green’s voice).
And then just before the tour started, they cancelled it
Circa Survive have announced that they have decided to cancel their Blue Sky Noise Anniversary Tour in part due to the mental health struggles of frontman Anthony Green.
The band had this to say, “It breaks our hearts to announce that we are officially cancelling the BSN Anniversary Tour. This includes the dates that were being rescheduled for the summer as well.
“There are multiple factors at play here but most pressingly Anthony is currently struggling with a mental health crisis and unable to be on tour at this time. A focus on self and family is of the utmost importance right now therefore postponing or rescheduling any further doesn’t feel like the right thing to do.
“We’re absolutely devastated over this and feel awful for everyone it affects. We hope you will accept our most sincere apologies and regrets with this news and the last minute nature of this announcement. All refunds will be available at point of purchase (VIP buyers, check your email).
“Although we are somber and wounded in this moment, our art and this community have always been guiding lights of hope and healing for us in times like this. We look forward to better days where we can celebrate overcoming these hardships together.”
I saw Tigers Jaw last year when they headlined Union Transfer. It was an album release show for their I Don’t Care How You Remember Me record. I didn’t know them that well, but since this was an album release show, nobody did. It was terrific and I was surprised that they were opening this one. When this show was cancelled they announced a show in Garwood a few days later and I saw them there which was a lot of fun.
Soul Glo is a band I really want to see. They are an extreme punk band and will probably scare the heck out of me. I’ve heard their live shows are really intense. Although probably not so much as an opening band.
