There’s sad news for Sleeping With Sirens fans who have their Emo’s Not Dead Cruise tickets. Unfortunately, the band has to pull out of the February 26-March 1 music event due to circumstances outside of their control.
In a recent Instagram story, the band posted: “Unfortunately, due to a family medical issue we are unable to perform at Banyan Live on February 24th and the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise the following week. We sincerely apologize to all the fans who bought tickets to see us. West Palm – your tickets and VIP packages will be refunded to you. Emo’s Not Dead Cruise – We’re sad we can’t make it out to sea with you but we know you’ll have an awesome time! Hope to see you next time.”
In their place, Emo’s Not Dead has invited Underøath to take their spot. “Thank you to the boys for stepping in and saving the day. See you all on deck in a few weeks,” the festival shared in an Instagram post.
The sold-out cruise begins in Miami, Florida, and sails to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas. However, there is a waiting list, should you want to try your luck at getting a ticket(s).
