Multi-platinum Grammy-nominated hard rock band, Godsmack, have announced the postponement of the band's scheduled South American tour dates.

A message from the band states: "Due to logistical issues beyond our control, we are very disappointed to announce the postponement of our South America tour scheduled for November 8 in Argentina, November 10 in Chile and November 12 in Brazil.

"We understand this is frustrating, but we want to be able to put on the best show for our fans, and despite our best efforts cannot do so due to these logistical challenges.

"The dates will now be rescheduled for April 2023 and all tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates. We are truly excited to play South America for the first time and appreciate your understanding.

"Stay tuned for the new dates to be announced... see you soon!"

Back in September, Godsmack released the first glimpse of their forthcoming eighth studio album with the single, “Surrender”, via BMG. The track marks the first release from the band in four years, following their globally acclaimed & gold-certified 2018 album, When Legends Rise, which earned the band a #1 spot across US Hard Rock, Rock, and Alternative album charts.

"‘Surrender’ is a very cut and dry song," says vocalist and guitarist Sully Erna. "It’s simply about the exhaustion we can all feel in relationships at times from the redundancy of fighting with each other. At a certain point in our lives, we submit to putting aside who’s right or wrong, we just want it to STOP! So we wave the white flag."
