Code Orange have just announced the cancellation of their headline tour dates, plus the ShipRocked cruise and Pulp Summer Slam, that were planned for the coming months.
The band reveal today (January 12, 2024) that guitarist Dom Landolina has sadly been “dealing with serious health issues over the past year”, and despite being “very hopeful” and aiming for a February return, he is currently “unable to play guitar at this time”.
“It pains us deeply to announce that we are canceling our upcoming headline tour, as well as the ShipRocked cruise / Pulp Summer Slam around it,” reads the full statement from Code Orange about the situation. “Our guitarist Dom has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year that have led to his inability to play, perform and live comfortably. While he gritted through our fall performances, his issues were exasperated by them.
“We wanted to give him proper time to heal before making a group decision, and were very hopeful he would be able to return by February. Ultimately its been determined that he is unable to play guitar at this time. We take this decision very seriously, and this is the last way we intended to start this era.
“We have been together since we were teenagers, have ridden in vans and slept on floors for the majority of our career. No time period has been as difficult for us as the last few years. We are now focused on regaining our strength. We will be back with more stability and in full force. Thank you for the continued love and respect. Please support the amazing Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron on whatever they choose to do. Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
Kerrang! would like to send our love to Dom and the rest of the band at this time.
