CHILDREN OF BODOM - Upcoming Brussels Show Cancelled Due To City-Wide Security Measures: "The Venue Did Everything To Try And Keep This Show..."

Children Of Bodom recently announced they and their label mates Sylosis will continue their European tour after Lamb Of God canceled all of their remaining dates. Unfortunately, the band's November 29th show at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium has been canceled due to a city-wide security clampdown launched on November 21st. The move was launched in the wake of the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris, France that left 130 dead and hundreds injured.

Children Of Bodom have issued the following statement: "Unfortunately, our show in Belgium has been cancelled along with all Brussels shows through the 29th of November. This is due to the terror threat level being at a 4 until the 30th — they're forced to cancel all shows. You should know the venue did try everything to keep this show, including requesting extra security from the city, but that wasn't possible. We are grateful to them for trying. We are looking to try to get another show nearby and will let you know as soon as we have something, but you should refund your tickets to this show. All other Children Of Bodom shows are still happening, so come out and see you soon."

Watch a video statement from COB mastermind Alexi Laiho, issued shortly after Lamb Of God announced they were leaving the tour.
