CANCER BATS POSTPONE TOUR

Soundwave Touring & Cancer bats are truly sad to announce the postponement of the band’s tour scheduled for early July.

However in good news the band will instead return for Soundwave 2013 which means they will now be performing in all 5 state capitals.

Furthermore, the fans who hold tickets for the July dates will be amply rewarded as those tickets will now be valid for the band’s 3 SideWaves in conjunction with Soundwave Festival!
