As we told you yesterday, The Dillinger Escape Plan were involved in a serious bus crash this past weekend, but luckily escaped without major injury. Unfortunately, the band’s gear was not as lucky, so they’ve decided to cancel the remainder of their European tour dates. Here’s their statement: “Saturday, February 11th 2017, The Dillinger Escape Plan and crew were driving to their show in Krakow, Poland when their bus broke down and the driver had to pull over on the side of the road. A truck smashed into the trailer, which held all the band’s gear, before hitting the bus. No one is in critical condition but the band and crew are still being assessed for the extent of their injuries at Szpital Wojewodzki im. Jana Pawla II (John Paul Regional Hospital) in Zamosc.

The remaining dates in Croatia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and Belgium (running through March 5th) have been cancelled. Guitarist, Benjamin Weinman adds “All the gear is destroyed and there are injuries – we are unable to continue this tour right now. The band and crew would like to thank the fans and press around the world for their concern and the Polish police and medical staff for their handling of the situation. We hope to get back to Europe soon.”

While this is a bummer for their fans across the pond, I don’t think anyone can blame the band for cancelling the dates. They were super lucky to escape this wreck with only minor injuries, and like they said in the statement above, all their gear was destroyed. The most important thing is that these guys are okay, and they’ve promised to make up the shows in the future. We will have post those new dates when they announce them, but for now, I think the band deserves a few weeks off.
