Gates to Hell drop off European tour w/ Despised Icon, Carnifex & Suffocation

Kentucky deathcore band Gates to Hell have announced that they will no longer be joining Despised Icon, Carnifex and Suffocation on their upcoming UK and European tour this fall.

The band confirmed their withdrawal in a statement shared on social media, citing unforeseen circumstances. No further details regarding their decision were provided.

Gates to Hell stated: “We’re very sorry but due to unforeseen circumstances we have to drop our upcoming tour with Despised Icon, Carnifex, and Suffocation. We promise we will be back soon. Thank you all for your continued support.”

In a separate message accompanying the announcement, the band apologized to fans who had been looking forward to seeing them overseas.
