LORDI Cancel Off-Date North American Shows





Finland's monster rock n roll band LORDI, currently on the mainstage of Ozzfest 2007 (with headliners OZZY OSBOURNE, LAMB OF GOD and STATIC-X), have cancelled their previously announced off-date shows during the summer tour.

In a written statement from the band it says: “Things have been going exceptionally well for Lordi this summer on Ozzfest 2007. We’ve had some great crowd responses so far and the shows have been a lot of fun. Lots of rock n’ roll and pyro!

And because the shows have been going over so well – the fans really are into what Lordi have brought to the tour - we feel that taking the LORDI show into a smaller club environment won’t deliver the full stage show that we are playing every night as part of Ozzfest so we’ve decided to cancel the previously announced off-date shows in Montreal, Toronto and Chicago. We don't want to downsize the band's explosive show!

We do hope that those who have bought tickets to come to the off-dates will make it out to Ozzfest and see us and all the other great bands playing in front of thousands of fans.”

Ozzfest 2007 continues till the end of August. See full tour dates here. Lordi released their album The Arockalypse March 20th, 2007 in North America on The End Records.
