Escape The Fate cancel UK tour

Las Vegas punk mob Escape The Fate have been forced to cencel their upcoming UK tour with The Blackout and From First To Last due to "scheduling conflicts".

"We are extremely bummed that we had to postpone this tour," said the band in an official statement. "We want to get out there to see you guys really bad, maybe even a little more than you guys do! We will be out there later on this year when our record is out, to melt your faces away live. Don't you guys worry. We love each and every one of you."

The band recruited former Blessthefall vocalist Craig Mabbitt in February to replace ex-frontman Ronnie Radke who left the band in January after being sentenced to five years probation for his involvement in a fight that lead to the death of 18-year-old Michael Cook.

The as yet untitled follow-up to Escape The Fate's 2006 album, Dying Is Your Latest Fashion, is set to be released later this year.

I think this is getting stupid now. Escape the Fate pulled out of Taste Of Chaos last year, and now this?

If they don't want to tour here, fare enough. But what's the point of scheduling tours, having fans spend money on tickets, only to find they are just going to cancel. Not only is it an inconvinience, it's just irritating.

escape the fate are average, dunno why the singer left bless the fall (amazing band) for a lesser band. The blackout are not a novelty band they just know how to have a good time which is what its all about. fftl are good, but we are the fuckin ocean are immense and fucking nice guys.
escape the fate are bailers!

Maaan that sucks for you guys.
I saw them just under a month ago when they came to NZ.
Craig is amazing, he did an amazing job even though he'd broken his foot.

Fuck Ronnie, what an idiot. Glad the band can move on now without him, he was a waste of time. Extremely talented, but a waste of time.

TBO own. They are the funniest guys. WOuld kill to see them again! So jealous of the people going to one of these gigs...

ftw.

I'm monitoring their website so I can find out when they'll give into my buzznet demands and play the uk.
Maybe us UK-ers should bribe them with sandwiches or something?
WATO are good too.

craig

Uh, yeah.
Craig Mabbit.
Is a fucking beast.
Fuck Ronnie.
He's garvage in comparison.
He's never coming back.
Grow up, and deal with it.
You call yourselves ETF fans?
Then support Craig.
And move the fuck on.
