Band cancel US and Canadian tours

More The Beards More The Beards

Adelaide beard-rock band The Beards have been forced to cancel their planned North American tour after they were denied visas by US immigration.

In a statement cancelling both the US and Canadian tours the band said, “The entire tour was cancelled after US Immigration denied the band performance visas. The US consulate is yet to give a reason for the refusal. We will be appealing the decision and if it is overturned, we will return to America and Canada to play shows as soon as we possibly can.

“We want to offer our most sincere apologies to all of our North American fans.”

Management has been contacted for further comment.
