Seth Sentry To Tour Without Horrorshow Following Apparent 'Falling Out'

What could have been the hip-hop tour of the year is no more.

Earlier this week, Horrorshow—the project of Nick Solo—pulled out of Seth Sentry’s upcoming Australian tour, citing an alleged unsafe working environment.

Sentry, touring from September to November, is celebrating the tenth anniversary of Strange New Past. His second album, Strange New Past was released in June 2015 and peaked at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. At the 2015 ARIA Awards, it won the Best Urban Album award.

Nick Solo announced that he was off the tour on Tuesday (5 August), just a few days after the tour was announced. He wrote on Instagram:

Horrorshow is no longer appearing on the upcoming Seth Sentry tour.
I feel that aspects of the tour would not create a safe working environment for me and therefore I am withdrawing my involvement.
I was really excited for this tour and am disappointed I am no longer able to be a part of it.
I wish everyone involved the best with their same old future endeavours.

Circumstances around the news remained vague until Sentry took to social media and claimed that the pair had “fallen out.”

Responding to a fan who asked why Horrorshow was no longer on the tour, Sentry said he’d fallen out with Solo and he was looking for a replacement support act.

Commenting about the news this week, Sentry wrote, “There was a recent falling out & after a conversation to try find a way to make it work, Horrorshow have made the decision to pull out of the tour. I respect the decision. I’m working to find a replacement now.”

The Music reached out to Horrorshow for comment about departing from the tour, but at the time of publication, hasn’t received a response from Nick Solo.

Seth Sentry’s Strange New Past tenth anniversary tour travels to regional and metro venues, and it begins on Thursday, 18 September, at The River, Margaret River.

It continues in Bunbury, Perth, Castlemaine, Albury, Canberra, Miami, Kings Beach, Brisbane, Ballarat, Frankston, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Mulgrave, Barwon Heads, Melbourne, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns, Hobart, Launceston, and wraps at Adelaide’s Lion Arts Factory on Saturday, 28 November. Tickets are available on Seth Sentry’s website.

Seth Sentry released his latest album, Super Cool Tree House, in June 2021. The result of a weekly challenge Sentry committed to during the COVID-19-enforced lockdowns, he explained: “I asked people to send me beats, some professional producers, some amateurs, and every Monday I picked a new one.

“Then, the aim was to write and record a song that week to be released every Sunday! Not only was it a great way to kill time during the lockdown, but it really helped reinvigorate my love for straight-up bars.

“Hardly any hooks, no thought about song structure, etc., just straight up raps. I fukn loved it.”
