The Hold Steady cancel UK tour
Posted:
They may say all news is good news, but I'm afraid this isn't the case for fans of Brooklyn rockers The Hold Steady, who have had to cancel their UK tour due to guitarist Tad Kubler being hospitalised with pancreatitis.
The band were due to kick off their eight-date tour last night in Oxford, and play another seven dates around the country, taking in London, Wolverhampton, Nottingham, Bristol, Glasgow and Portsmouth.
The Hold Steady's label, Rough Trade, have informed us that the band are currently in the process of rescheduling the tour and hope to have the new dates fixed shortly.
In the mean time, we hope you'll all join us at DiS and wish Tad a swift recovery. And here's a video of them performing 'Stuck Between Stations' live on Letterman.

That's that explained, then
Get well soon, Tad.
(And please keep the rescheduled Bristol date on a Saturday)
-
No news is good news, surely?
This is DEFINITELY bad news though.
-
At least it looks like they will be rescheduled
I had a phone call from Wolverhampton today confirming that they had cancelled, but were looking to reschedule the gigs, I just hope it ain't when i've got others happening, as i've got tickets for 3/4 other gigs this month, and december i've got 3/4 as well.

wow
centred text!
-
Hope Tad get's well soon as pancreatitis is rather crap
but on a slightly selfish note can they please reschedule Glasgow for a Friday or Saturday so I can go please.
-
Well they're touring constantly up til xmas
so it'll be the new year.... :(
-
Bollocks!
Gutted!
-
Rescheduled dates
are coming later today.
-
Change the Glasgow venue - Pleeease!!
Aye...
I also hope that they ditch the soulless pit that is the ABC in favour of the Barrowlands.
The 'Steady and the Barra's would be anawesome combination.
Hope Tad recovers ok. I like the way he makes the effort to stand in the crowd to watch support bands.

-
Good.
The blandest band in the history of music.
-

it's always good when people get pancreatitis.
-
Sucks that he's ill
but means I can make the gig now, result!
-

Couldn't get further away from the ABC than Australia...
