D.R.I.: 2016 LATIN AMERICAN TOUR CANCELLED

 California, U.S.A. based legendary crossover hardcore/thrash metal warriors D.R.I. (DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECILES) have cancelled the bands anticipated 2016 LATIN AMERICAN tour.








D.R.I. last unleashed "FULL SPEED AHEAD", 10/24/1995 via ROTTEN RECORDS.

 FROM D.R.I.:
D.R.I. LATIN AMERICAN TOUR CANCELLED
We are very disappointed to announce that D.R.I. will not be going on the 6 City Latin American Tour.
We are so sorry for our fans in Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Mexico. We are extremely upset over this. We were really looking forward to great shows down there. We were assured this tour, this time, we would have no issues. We really thought this time, it was all going to work out.
* The TERMS of the AGREEMENT were not met *
As of today, march 16 2016, half of the shows did not send the required money to our booking agency.
2 of the shows did not send flights for us to get to them, and were threatening to cancel. With one of them asking to only pay half the original guarantee. Changing the terms the day before a tour starts is not a good sign.

We really tried to make this tour work. We even agreed to take outrageous flights to make it work. We agreed to have a 14 hour layover in an airport, and to fly from Sao Paulo to Monterrey, connecting in Chicago and Houston to make this work, forcing us to only get sleep while on a plane. We kept agreeing to things we normally do not do, to make this work. We have done everything possible to salvage this tour.
In the end, we cannot leave on a tour without confirmed flights from place to place. We cannot leave for a tour to a foreign country without complete and confirmed guarantees in place. We cannot leave on a tour under these circumstances, with so many details not worked out.


ES OFICIAL! D.R.I CANCELA SU GIRA LATINOAMERICANA 2016
COMUNICADO:
"Estamos muy decepcionados al anunciar que Dirty Rotten Imbeciles no va a las 6 ciudades del tour latinoamericano.
Lo sentimos mucho por nuestros fans en Argentina, Chile, Brasil y México. Estamos muy molesto por esto. Estábamos muy ansiosos de dar allí grandes espectáculos. Nos aseguraron esta gira, que esta vez no tendríamos problemas. Realmente nos pareció que era el momento, que todo iba a salir bien.
