As previously reported, Attila recently cancelled their European tour at the last minute after allegedly being “put in situations that are volatile.” However, Loud Farm Booking have since claimed the issue was related to tour busses.

The group initially said the following:

“We’d like to sincerely apologize to our fans first and foremost. We never intended on cancelling our 2025 European run but over the past couple years Attila and its crew have been put in situations that are volatile to not only our mental but individual health. In return these scenarios have led us to set boundaries as human beings as well as a functioning business.

We flew the entire band and crew all the way to Europe only to find out less than twenty four hours before our first show these boundaries were crossed once again.

We are not here to speak negatively about any individual or company. however, we have to stand up for ourselves and, more importantly, for the people who work hard to make Attila run smoothly.

Moving forward we are going to take the necessary measures to make sure nothing like this ever happens again. We can only hope you understand and respect our decision.”

They later added:

“A lot of people are asking for more details about our Europe tour cancellation. I just want to get a few things straight. There’s no drama or hidden shit happening. It’s not that deep. We are all best friends. Here’s what it comes down to. Attila is extremely professional. We arrived in Germany with all of our gear and crew ready to do this entire tour.

We came with professionalism and we were met with EXTREME unprofessionalism on a certain companies part. On our last European tour we had a VERY similar incident happen and it COMPLETELY ruined our morale as a band. We don’t NEED to tour, we don’t NEED to be here. We do this purely because we love it.

But we are NOT going to sacrifice our minds and body because of some companies MASSIVE fuck up. That is all. We are going to fly back to Atlanta to record more music in our studio and finish our new album. We love Europe and we will be back to make it up to you guys. Thank you.”

Loud Farm Booking then shared their side of the story:

“…Sadly I have some bad news to share with you. Attila flew into Berlin yesterday afternoon to start their European summer tour today. Sadly we received the news earlier today that the band decided to cancel their full tour shortly after arrival, due to an ‘issue’ with their bus. Their bus supplier provided a perfectly workable solution for them to start the tour as planned, but the band made up their mind and one-sided made the decision to cancel the full thing, without speaking to us nor to their own manager.

Both their management and us have been trying to get a hold of the band throughout the day to discuss and work out a solution for a non-existing problem. but sadly all members have been radio silent and nobody has been able to have a proper conversation with them.

It has become clear now they have no intention to still do this tour (even though they still flew to Berlin just yesterday) and are 100% cancelling all shows, without talking to anyone in their team nor providing clarification for promoters. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused here,
and wish I could provide you with more insight in their situation.”
