‘HALLOWEEN HAVOC’ With BANJZIG at Shotkickers

Heavy-hitting Celtic-doom trailblazers BANJZIG have shocked the music industry by announcing their immediate departure from Ed Sheeran’s stadium tour. In a fierce stand for freedom of expression, the band has pivoted back to their roots, locking in a headline slot for the Halloween Havoc extravaganza at Thornbury’s Shotkickers on Saturday, 31 October. BANJZIG’s sudden exit comes as an act of solidarity, joining standard-bearers like Finneas O'Connell, Lukas Graham, Beoga, and Aaron Rowe, who all withdrew from the pop stars tour following recent controversies. ‘We would never normally let down the fans who had made plans, nor would we abandon the touring crew, our dancers, sound engineers, fluffers, and the other support acts and musicians who rely on us for work and to make a living,the band stated in an official release. But after Ed lacked having a vertebral column, we just had to leave the tour and switch to playing venues that support freedom of speech’. Despite the sudden fallout, the band acknowledged their history with the pop icon. ‘We do not take the decision lightly. Ed has been a friend to BANJZIG and has changed our lives. He was the one who said we should have more banjo solos, not less, and he encouraged us to wear kilts. We could never thank him enough for this. However, we wont play in venues that silence anyone, it is simply not an option for us, so we are playing these smaller stadiums instead’. With Deep South Market + The Trash & The Treasures.
