The Murder Capital have announced that they’ve cancelled their US and Canada tour dates, specifying travel and financial uncertainties as the reason. 

Posting on social media, the band said: “With heavy hearts, we have to cancel our tour this autumn due to unforeseen financial challenges and the ongoing travel uncertainties. 

“This is a bitter pill to swallow. We hope you know how much we wanted to be out there playing these shows for ye all.”

They continued: “Thank you to all our fans that bought tickets, we appreciate your support and can’t wait to come back as soon as the time is right. Sending you all love in these strange times.

“All our summer shows are on, we look forward to seeing everyone out there.”

The Murder Capital are an Irish five-piece who released their third album in February of this year. 

They’ve since been touring the UK and Europe and they will perform in Spain on September 6, which will be their last show until November. 

Their tour will officially finish on November 22nd in Troyes, France

Fans have been left saddened by the news of their cancellation, as one wrote beneath the post: “absolutely heartbroken omg 🙁 will be waiting for the future tho!!


Someone else said: “so heartbroken but definitely here whenever you come back,” while others shared crying emojis. 

One sad fan wrote: “This is the second time in you guys had to cancel your Canada show!!!” to which the band replied: “Both times completely out of our control. Much love.”

They were scheduled to tour the US and Canada in Autumn of this year, but have since clarified that those shows won’t be played. 

It comes after they had a string of shows cancelled during the German leg of their tour, after their set design showed a huge Palestinian flag hanging at the back.
