Echo & The Bunnymen cancel U.S. tour
Tim Karan on 11/6/09 @ 4:55 PM
British post-punk icons Echo & The Bunnymen have been forced to cancel their November tour of the U.S. due to tax issues with the IRS. The band had planned to play eight dates in the states in conjunction with the U.S. release of their new album, The Fountain, due Nov. 10. A statement released on behalf of the band explains: "The cancellation of the tour is due to the rejection of the band's Central Withholding Agreement (CWA) by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The rejection was unexpected as the Echo & the Bunnymen team submitted the necessary paperwork in due time and in accordance with the process that had been followed on previous tours. Additionally, the IRS offered no reasoning for the rejection and was unresponsive to our inquiries. This CWA allows for foreign entertainers to be paid in full, otherwise promoters are legally obliged to withhold a minimum of 30% in lieu of tax which ultimately will not allow for a tour to happen at this time."
Canceled dates include:
Nov. 15 - Atlanta, GA - Masquerade
Nov. 17 - Washington, DC - Black Cat
Nov. 18 - State College, Pittsburgh, PA - State Theatre
Nov. 20 - Glenside, PA - Kewsick Theatre
Nov. 21 - Fairfield, CT - StageOne
Nov. 22 - New York, NY- Hammerstein
Nov. 23 - Boston, MA- House of Blues
Nov. 25 - Chicago, IL - Metro
