VNV NATION unleashed "Transnational" 10/11/2013 (EUROPE) and 11/19/2013 (NORTH AMERICA) via ANACHRON SOUNDS.
FROM CAUSTIC:
So out of nowhere VNV dropped off the Alliance of Sound Tour.

(And Ogre, gimme a call if you need the worst co-headliner in history.)
FROM VNV NATION:
With great regret, we have to let you know that, VNV Nation have pulled out of the Alliance of Sound Tour.
Due to a problematic situation, that had unexpectedly worsened in recent weeks, and which was likely to continue doing so, the band and crew deliberated over how to proceed before unanimously coming to the very reluctant decision that the appropriate course of action would be to pull out of the tour.
To all the VNV Nation fans who have bought tickets for this tour, we sincerely apologize for this news, which we know will upset many people. A decision like this is never lightly made and it has pained us greatly to have had to do this. We had been very much looking forward to doing this tour and had planned a great set and show but the situation that had caused us to make this decision had made matters too problematic to continue.
sincerely,
Ronan and Mark
