Finnish melancholic progressive metal band, Amorphis, were supposed to be hitting the road in celebration of their legendary 1994 release, Tales From The Thousand Lakes. Each night the classic album would have been played live in its entirety.

The 38-date North American tour was scheduled to launch on September 11 with three shows at the Kingsland in Brooklyn, NY, and conclude in Hartford, CT at The Webster Theater on October 26. Joining Amorphis on this trek were Entombed A.D. and Nervosa. Sadly, now all of these shows have been scrapped. An official statement from Amorphis reads:

"Dear fans in USA and Canada.

Amorphis is sad to announce that due to the Covid-19 also our Tales From The Thousand Lakes anniversary-tour is cancelled.

We were optimistic to the very end but it looks like there’s not going to be any tours for quite a while now.

However, the anniversary-tour will happen. A rescheduling of the tour dates is planned but obviously not set yet as nobody knows how long this pandemia is going to take.

The most important thing now is to take care or each others and families. See you soon friends, we all are going to get through these hard times!

For ticket refunds please contact your ticket provider."
