Carcass Reschedules Tours: Family Comes First in Extreme Metal

In a raw and unfiltered announcement, British extreme metal pioneers Carcass have made the gut-wrenching decision to reschedule their much-anticipated Putrefying Down Under tour, along with their dates in China and India. The band revealed that their drummer, Dan, is facing a deeply personal family crisis, leading to this necessary diversion from the road. Out of respect for Dan’s privacy and the gravity of the situation, the band has chosen to keep further details under wraps, emphasizing that family must prevail in times of hardship.

Carcass expressed their sincere regret over the postponement, acknowledging the fervent anticipation of fans who were eager to witness their savage performances. The decision to delay these shows was not made lightly, as they understand the weight of their commitment to the metal community. However, they are already at work on rescheduling the dates and promised to keep fans updated as plans solidify.

For the metalheads in India, there’s still a flicker of hope: the Bangalore Open Air festival will proceed as planned, and Carcass encourages attendees to show up and support the other acts. It’s a reminder that while one chapter closes, another unfolds in the relentless saga of metal.

In a swift follow-up, Carcass released the new dates for the rescheduled tour, now set to take place in September 2027, alongside the legendary Brujeria. The tour will hit major cities like Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Townsville, and Auckland, with tickets remaining valid for the newly scheduled dates. For those unable to attend, refunds will be available from the point of purchase, ensuring that no fan is left behind.

With an unforgettable performance etched in memory from Hellfest Open Air in June 2026, where they unleashed a barrage of classics like “Unfit For Human Consumption” and “Heartwork,” the anticipation for the rescheduled dates only grows stronger. Carcass remains a titan in the metal scene, proving that even in times of darkness, the spirit of metal endures.
