Despised Icon Breaking Up, But Will Complete All 2010 Tours

by | Apr 8, 2010

Though the band have announced their plans for break up, Despised Icon will be fulfilling their tour commitments for the remainder of 2010. The band comments:

“If it wasn’t clear enough, we want to assure everyone that we will be playing all the tours and all the shows that we’ve been announcing for the rest of 2010.”

“This means that we will be doing all the European shows scheduled for the next months, including the France/Spain/Portugal tour starting next Friday along with the Parkway Drive Tour that is to take place in a few weeks.”

“Also you can count on us to be part of the major summer festivals next August as this will be our last run in Europe. We are working right now at booking final tours in all the major areas we’ve been touring for the past 5 years.”

“Rest assured, we are NOT cancelling a single show! So please, come hang out one last time with us!”
