Extol Drop Off 2023 Furnace Fest Due To Visa Issues

Extol will no longer be performing at this year’s Furnace Fest in Birmingham, AL. The band scrapped their set due to visa issues.

The group commented:

“We have got some very, very sad news for those going to Furnace Fest. We will unfortunately NOT be able to play at Furnace Fest 2023 for the simple reason that we did not get our visas in time. We have had no influence on the process going on at the immigration department, and so the kafkaesque process of obtaining visas has been out of our control.

We can hardly believe this surreal situation. We have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the visa process to finalize but to no avail. Furnace Fests inquiry to play this years festival is what sparked our decision to start playing live again, so needless to say, we feel terrible! It pains us to know that a lot you have spent your hard earned money to come see us play, and that we will not be able to be there.”
