In a statement published through their social networks, it is reported that the North Americans crazy town and the mexicans Panteon Rococo They will not be able to appear in any of the dates.

On the one hand, the Mexicans who were going to present their 2021 production, ‘Ofrenda’, were forced to cancel their two shows in the country due to health complications of the singer Luis Román Ibarra (known as Dr. Shenka) that prevented him from transfer by plane from Mexico, wishing a speedy recovery and soon return to Colombia by the band.

In the case of the North American group, recognized in the early 2000s for its hit ‘Butterfly‘, the statement states that the vocalist, Seth Binzer, “was not allowed to leave the US”, without giving further details about it.
