Kittie have dropped off the Civil Unrest tour. The band said “immigration” issues were responsible for their departure. You can see their full statement via the below Facebook post:
They are the third band to exit the tour following Otep, who left due to sexual assault charges, and 36 Crazyfists who left for an unknown reason.
Straight Line Stitch and The Bloodline (select dates) have both been added to the Civil Unrest Tour. They will join the previously announced lineup which includes: Ill Niño, Kittie, Motograter, Thira, Lydia Can’t Breathe and Darkcell. Davey Suicide, Unloco, Gabriel And The Apocalypse, The Convalescence, Erasing Never, Xiting The System and Happy Accidents will also perform on select dates. It is also necessary to point out that 36 Crazyfists have apparently dropped off the tour, as you can see in the new poster.

In other news, Ill Niño has commented on the drama surrounding Otep and Terror Universal, who both will no longer be part of the tour:
“ILL NINO does not condone any forced act of violence or sexual nature towards any human beings, nor will we tolerate violations of one’s personal space. This also goes for cyber-bullying, or making demeaning comments towards ANYONE on social media. We strongly support equality for all.
We would like to draw closure by stating that the CIVIL UNREST TOUR will continue without participation from either OTEP or TERROR UNIVERSAL. We’re looking forward to hitting the road, reuniting with our fans and friends, and also sharing the stage with our tour brothers, and sisters, KITTIE & 36 CRAZYFISTS. Stay tuned, more bands to be added!!”
