Issues with an evidently ambitious new live set-up has forced Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas to cancel a North American tour with his solo vehicle The Voidz.
“With great regret, we need to cancel our upcoming shows in North America,” a statement reads. “We had set out to do something a bit different with these shows and create more of an experience that would be inspiring to our fans as well as to the band.
“In order to make this work we needed many pieces to fall into place that just didn’t.”
“Everyone will of course be given a full refund. We are going to regroup and re-approach this in the way it was intended, and soon.”
Casablancas released the ‘Tyranny‘ album almost a year ago and had been hoping to take it around North America during September and October. Dates cancelled include two nights in San Francisco, as well further gigs in cities such as Seattle, Vancouver, Chicago and Philadelphia.
