The Devil Wears Prada Cancel Soundwave

by | Nov 17, 2009

The Devil Wears Prada have canceled their dates on Soundwave Festival. The band issued the following statement:

“Recently we received an offer to do a tour to end all tours, which conflicted with our time in Australia, as well as our headline shows in New Zealand and Australia.  Regretfully we had no other option but to cancel the shows in order to participate in the tour we were offered.  What I want to make most clear is that we truly care about the shows we had to cancel, and we sincerely care about heading back to Australia.  Come on, it’s a region comparable to heaven on earth!  Why would we not want to go?  Many great bands are playing the fest, we haven’t played Australia in quite some time, and it’s a place we look forward to being in more than any other country.  Maybe that will help you to understand the magnitude of the tour offer that recently presented itself.”
