English ska band Bad Manners recently announced a cancellation of their North American tour and with it, their May 25 spot on the Punk Rock Bowling mainstage.
A statement from Bad Manners frontman Buster Bloodvessel posted to the Punk Rock Bowling website reads:
Dear Punk Rock Bowling
I am disappointed to be writing this telling you all that we will not be appearing at PRB 2015. We have had problems obtaining the work permits to be in the country and our only option is to cancel. We were so looking forward to playing for you all as it is 40 years of Bad Manners and a show in Las Vegas was a real highlight for the year. We are all really disappointed and can only apologize for letting down all our American fans.
We hope that for the future, we can find a solution to the working permits and come back to play for you all.
Have a great festival.
Buster
Taking their place on the May 25 Punk Rock Bowling festival show is New York hardcore band Agnostic Front, who last played PRB in 2011 as pinch hitters for English post punk band Killing Joke and are currently set to – and not at all suspiciously – tour Europe before the festival (we’re on to you, Agnostic Front!).
Single day tickets for May 25, which is headlined by Dropkick Murphys, can be purchased via the Punk Rock Bowling website.
