Overview

• Animals As Leaders canceled all shows in Mexico, South America and Australia after drummer Matt Garstka sustained a serious arm injury requiring surgery.
• The tour was to begin on August 20 at Teatro Metropolitano in Santiago de Querétaro and end on September 21 at Perth’s Magnet House Night Club before being called off indefinitely.
• In an Instagram statement, the band said there is no way to perform without Garstka and declined to reschedule dates until he fully recovers.
• Rather than leave the schedule in limbo, Animals As Leaders has redirected its efforts toward composing new material for their next studio album.
• The trio confirmed that new songs are already in development and promised updates on Garstka’s recovery timeline and upcoming releases in the coming months.
