Philadelphia emo punk band Sweet Pill has cancelled the remaining U.S. and European dates of their current tour. The band broke the news on social media Monday morning, citing personal reasons.
“We made this decision out of love, we’ve worked so hard to get to here and need the time to regroup in order to give this record the tour it deserves,” the post reads. “We appreciate all of your support and understanding.”
The tour was in support of Still There’s a Glow, the band’s second album, released earlier this month. Sweet Pill kicked things off with a release party at Ukie Club on March 6 and had sold out nine dates on the run, including a March 19 show at Union Transfer.
Ticket holders will be automatically refunded and the band says anyone who doesn’t receive one should reach out to their ticket seller directly.
If you want to show some support, the band is pointing fans toward their online merch store and asking that people extend the same love to their tourmates Heart to Gold, Spaced, and Stereosity.
