American technical deathcore band Rings Of Saturn have announced their withdrawal from European and UK touring Silver Linings 2025 alongside Obscura, Gorod and Skeletal Remains. The group cites challenges related to new immigration and tax laws in Europe and the United Kingdom.
An unexpected withdrawal and an artistic reorientation
In a statement released on December 2, 2024, the members of Rings Of Saturn confirmed that they would not participate in the tour scheduled for February 2025. The band explained: “Due to unforeseen challenges with new immigration and tax laws in Europe/UK, Rings Of Saturn will unfortunately not be able to participate in the tour despite our best efforts.”
Rather than touring, the band will focus on a new musical project, as guitarist Lucas Mann added: “We are working on a new album and have some exciting announcements coming. We hope to see you again soon.”
