Industrial EDM group Combichrist recently announced a 22-date tour across North America beginning in Florida and ending in Kentucky. Darksiderz and Davey Suicide will be tagging along in support, but not Blood on the Dance Floor! The Florida electropop duo came under heavy fire from Combichrist fans and, well, the band listened and, as such, have announced that Blood on the Dance Floor will no longer be on the tour. Statement and tour dates beyond the cut.
Combichrist had this to say about Blood on the Dance Floor’s departure from the tour. The Florida duo have not responded to their being dropped.
To our fans,
As you’ve seen with all of our tours, when we select our support acts, we attempt to bring acts that will help introduce Combichrist to fans outside of our fanbase. This has worked well for us in the past, and it was in this spirit that we invited Blood On The Dance Floor to tour with us. Like all announcements, we knew that this decision would be met with some concern but we thought that the different styles would be the source of conversation. We were not aware of the controversy about their past behavior. It has been difficult to read everything posted today; our sole goal is to bring you a kick ass tour that you can be excited and proud of and it’s become clear that we won’t be able to do that with the choice we made. As a result we have released Blood On The Dance Floor from this tour and are rethinking our direct support. We expect to have a new announcement for you shortly.
Thank you for your honesty and integrity.
You stand by us, we stand by you.
Combichrist
