If Randy Blythe is not released from prison this week, will the LAMB OF GOD, DETHKLOK & GOJIRA Tour Still Happen?

One of the hottest tours of the year, featuring two of the biggest names in Metal, LAMB OF GOD and DETHKLOK, are scheduled to join forces for a 34-show North American tour kicking off on August 1 in Seattle, Washington. The three-time Grammy® Award-nominated band from Richmond, VA and the world’s most brutal animated death band from Adult Swim’s "Metalocalypse" animated series are scheduled to shred with special guests GOJIRA through cities in the U.S. and Canada ending September 15 in San Francisco, CA.

This massive upcoming summer tour, which marks the return of LAMB OF GOD to North American stages where they will support their latest album 'Resolution', is currently in jeopardy due to Randy Blythe's arrest. Blythe is currently locked up in a Czech prison accused of manslaughter. HERE is the latest information about Blythe's legal case!

While no news of a tour cancellation has surfaced     (So far, one stop on the trek has been nixed — the show set for August 15 in St. Charles, Missouri), there is now way that LAMB OF GOD would do the tour without their singer Randy Blythe! But who could replace Blythe? Let us know in the comments section below.

SONISPHERE Knebworth Canceled Due To Crisis - Official Statement Available!

Official Statement:

It is with very heavy hearts and much regret that we announce the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012.

Putting the festival together in what is proving to be a very challenging year was more difficult than we anticipated and we have spent the last few months fighting hard to keep Sonisphere in the calendar. Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that we would be unable to run the festival to a standard that both the artists and that Sonisphere’s audience would rightly expect.

We want to express our deepest regrets to the artists and to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors who worked so hard with us to try and pull off what has proven to be an impossible task and we know how much they share in our disappointment. We also want to send a huge thanks to the Sonisphere fans who stuck by us and we are so sorry that we can’t fulfill what we set out to do.

Ticket holders will automatically receive a full refund direct from their ticket agents.
Team Sonisphere.

NOTE: All other version of the festival are still scheduled to happen!
