Arch Enemy postpone UK tour.

Arch Enemy have had to push back their UK tour till Novemeber 2010. Below is an official statement from the band. 

"Sorry to all our great U.K. fans, but the tour we had scheduled for next week has unfortunately been postponed 'till November 2010. 

"As we all know, it's been a tough time in Europe with the volcanic ash shutting down airspace in 23 countries and causing travel misery for millions of people. One minute airports are open — the next they are not.

"We are determined to make these shows work, but don't want to disappoint our fans, so it has been mutually agreed upon that the best way forward is to postpone the U.K. dates 'till November.

"We'd like to thank all of the promoters who took on the shows, and also the support bands — everything was shaping up very nicely and their professionalism is obvious. We appreciate their willingness to make these shows happen later in 2010 and we're more eager than ever to do so.

"It's important to make it clear that this is not a cancellation — we just have to move the tour to a different time.

"Sorry, again, to all who planned to attend. Hope to see you in November!"

The new Arch Enemy U.K. dates are as follows:


Nov. 23 - Manchester, UK @ Academy 2
Nov. 24 - Glasgow, UK @ Garage
Nov. 25 - Wolverhampton, UK @ Wulfrun Hall
Nov. 27 - London, UK @ The Forum (w/ SABBAT)

All tickets will remain valid for the new dates.
