GODSMACK, the multi-platinum selling Massachusetts rock group, has announced that it has canceled its previously announced South American tour due to “a lack of ticket sales.” The tour was scheduled to take place via Santiago, Chile on April 21st, Buenos Aires, Argentina on April 25th and São Paulo, Brazil on April 27th.

The band expressed with deep sadness for any inconvenience caused by the abrupt cancellation. In a statement released across their social media pages: “We are heartbroken to have to announce that GODSMACK cannot get to South America in April as promised. We are so saddened by this as we’ve been trying for so long to make this work, but due to the lack of ticket sales, we simply can’t find a way to fund this tour at this time. Please know we’ve tried everything we could to make it work, but it has now gone beyond our control.”

“We love and appreciate our fans and will remain optimistic that we will play for your country one day. Until then, our deepest apologies.”

Originally, GODSMACK‘s South American tour was supposed to take place last November. But it was postponed to April of this year due to what the influential rockers described at the time as “logistical issues.”

Despite the South American 2023 tour being cancelled. GODSMACK will still hit the road with metalcore stars I Prevail this Spring.

GODSMACK Continue To Light Up the Sky With New Album

GODSMACK, the multi-platinum hard rock band from Massachusetts, still continue light up the sky with their new album “Lighting Up The Sky”. Released on Friday, February 24th, 2023 via BMG, making it the eighth studio album from the four-piece and features some of their most powerful songs to date.

The LP was co-produced by GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna and Andrew “Mudrock” Murdock (AVENGED SEVENFOLD, ALICE COOPER). This collaboration has resulted in an album that showcases GODSMACK’s signature sound while exploring new sonic territories. Fans can expect hard hitting guitar riffs, tight grooves and powerful lyrics that explore themes of resilience and strength in the face of adversity.

Since forming in 1995, GODSMACK have sold over 20 million records worldwide and have been nominated for two Grammy Awards. The Boston-area hard rock group has been a cornerstone in the music industry ever since they debuted in the mainstream eyes in 1998. Their distinct sound, which is heavily influenced by Alice in Chains and Metallica, creates an impressive combination of both alternative rock and thrash metal. This fusion of styles helps to forge a unique experience for their listeners as they embark on an auditory journey through Godsmack’s enigmatic universe. Along with this mix of musical genres comes a plethora of mystical imagery and percussive tribal rhythms that help give Godsmack its unmistakable flavor.

The band has released several platinum selling albums over the course of their career, including their Grammy nominated “Awake” from 2000.
