Misery Signals drop off Furnace Fest

American-Canadian metalcore unit Misery Signals have announced that they will no longer be traveling to the Southeast next month for two scheduled performances, including Furnace Fest.

The band has issued the following statement:

"It is with great disappointment that we must announce our cancellation of Nashville, Tennessee on September 23rd and Furnace Fest on September 25th in Birmingham, Alabama.

"Being a band in which members reside in different countries has always posed a challenge. Those challenges in combination with the logistics of a global pandemic have made things even harder.

"To be clear, we are not cancelling due to safety concerns or lack of confidence in the festival organizers. We support the measures that the organizers of Furnace Fest are taking to ensure the safety of all performers and attendees. All members of Misery Signals are vaccinated and encourage you to do the same.

"We look forward to a time when we're able to get back to the stage, unfortunately that moment is not now. Until we see you next, please be safe and please be kind."
