Swedish Home Mafia Proceed To Cancel Extra Exhibits on ‘Paradise Once more’ Tour
Final 12 months, earlier than Swedish Home Mafia had launched their album Paradise Once more, they’d already introduced their first run of US reveals since 2012. The album got here out this previous April, and it was good. The hype was there for a tour. However now reveals are getting cancelled, in some instances, simply weeks earlier than the date.
It’s no secret that the US is dealing with some arduous financial occasions proper now, and ticket gross sales are down throughout the map with fewer reveals hitting promote out. Particularly for festivals when journey is commonly concerned, many promoters are struggling. It needs to be considerably simpler for native reveals, particularly with beforehand stadium-filling acts like Swedish Home Mafia, however many reveals at the moment are being taken off the schedule.
NME stories, “[…] the trio have introduced the cancellation of reveals on the Amway Heart in Orlando on July 31, Madison Sq. Backyard on August 2, TD Backyard in Boston on August 9, Washington, D.C.’s Verizon Area on August 11, and Little Caesars Area in Detroit on August 17.”
Since that article was printed on Monday, MetLife in New Jersey, Xcel Power Heart in Saint Paul, and Footprint Heart in Phoenix have also been cancelled.
No point out of the cancellations has been made on the group’s social media, however there are many followers on Twitter who’ve one thing to say about it.
I like how Swedish Home Mafia is posting pictures of their stage setup, actually the identical day they cancelled a bunch of dates due to “manufacturing points” and “low ticket gross sales.” Clearly y’all haven’t discovered something, that is so tone deaf. https://t.co/QZmkhZH0xI

And a few extra conspiratorial guesses…
I feel Swedish Home Mafia pulled a “The Producers” fashion caper with their reunion tour. They did not WANT to tour, had been contractually OBLIGATED to tour, in order that they made ticket costs so outrageous that no person purchased them and so they cancelled the tour. Everyone wins.

To purchase a ground ticket for his or her Los Angeles Banc of California present, one of many greater reveals within the run, you would need to put down $170 — a worth for a single artist present that not many EDM followers are used to or receptive to. Ground tickets for his or her new Madison Sq. Backyard present, which is now the identical date because the earlier MetLife present, start at $340.
It stays to be seen what number of extra dates find yourself cancelled earlier than the tour’s conclusion. The tour begins tomorrow at FTX Area in Miami, which nonetheless has plenty of seats available.
