Enslaved will launch a month-long, North American co-headline tour with Insomnium tonight (April 5) at Irving Plaza in New York, NY. Unfortunately, guitarist Ivar Bjørnson will be missing from the Enslaved lineup.

A message from the band states: "Due to immediate family issues that needed to be taken care of, Ivar was unable to join us for our upcoming tour in the United States and Canada. However, the rest of us have arrived safe and sound on American soil and will proceed with the tour.  Our voyage starts at Irving Plaza, NYC, and since we are reduced to a quartert at the moment, we invite our beloved audience to become the fifth member! Let’s go New York!"
