BLACK COBRA Denied Entry Into Canada On North American Tour
June 25, 2014, 10 years ago
Currently on a North American tour, San Francisco's Black Cobra has unfortunately been denied access into Canada.
The tour was nearly entirely comprised of Canadian dates featuring Black Cobra co-headlining alongside Anciients and support from Black Wizard. According to a press release, "the band was denied entry into the country for virtually no reason. Having invested thousands of dollars into merch for the tour, they decided to tough it out and try again at a different access point, where again they were denied, with no explanation, and after thorough inspections of their vehicle and gear. This forced the band to return to California instead of performing in more than twenty cities across Canada."
Black Cobra has since issued the following statement:
"As many of you already know, we were denied entry at the border of Canada. Because of the financial strain this has put on us, we were forced to cancel the remaining tour dates in the US as well. In the meantime, we will continue working on our forthcoming record and are looking into booking another tour in the US. We apologize to our fans and thank you for your continued support."New US tour dates will be announced soon. No Canadian dates will be scheduled.
