Helmet have officially cancelled their previously postponed June dates. According to the band, it was “logistically impossible” to reschedule the shows.
Helmet said the following:
“This post is in regards to the POSTPONED JUNE HEADLINE DATES ONLY
Disappointing news…..We’ve been trying for a while to re-schedule the US shows cancelled in June due to Covid but it’s still proving logistically impossible. Regrettably we have to cancel the run outright and we ask that any ticket buyers direct requests for refunds to your point of purchase.
Apologies for this, hopefully at some point in 2023 we might make it back into some of these places.
As always, thanks to everybody for your support and patience.”

Helmet have cancelled their spring European/UK tour. Page Hamilton issued the following statement:
“Hey everyone, We were so looking forward to returning to Europe and getting back out on the road this Spring. After the past 2 1/2 years of Covid crushing live music we’d started rehearsals and even played 2 shows in LA. Unfortunately we are forced to cancel our 2022 European Tour due to several circumstances beyond our control (the world is still not back to normal) and for a band member to deal with a serious but non life threatening health issue. We would like to sincerely apologize to all our fans who have reached out to us to make plans to hang, catch up and hear us play. For now it’s back to the drawing board and we hope to see you next year.”
