Sometimes you just have to trust your gut and make the best decisions you can given the information at hand. “We could go down the line with half-a-dozen other reasons that played into this decision. But by moving this to the Spring it will allow us to play MORE cities. Due to the oversaturation of the touring industry right now, we honestly had a tough time hitting some of the cities we wanted to play this year. You will have had more time to consume the album and let us know which songs from it you’d like to hear live. So Spring of next year makes more sense to do that. We’d like the opportunity to play several songs from that album, and give it a proper tour to support it. “We have a new album being released in October. At the same time, we’re excited about what’s to come. “As you all can imagine, we’re very disappointed to have to make this decision. There are some other issues at hand as well that played a part in our decision to postpone the tour. When you’re putting 10,000+ miles on a bus, as we were planning to do, gas prices absolutely matter for a tour like ours. The Tour Bus business is like the housing market right now with 10 times more bands trying to rent buses than are available. Anyone in the music business will tell you about the Tour Bus and Labor shortage out there. “Unfortunately there were some economic cards stacked against us. We will be able to keep several of the 2022 tour dates as scheduled, including the Texas dates, the International and destination dates. New dates for next year are being rescheduled now. If you have purchased a meet and greet through STRYPER‘s Etix page, those will be refunded as well. The band wrote: “It is with a heavy heart that we are postponing most of our September tour dates to the Spring / Summer of 2023. STRYPER has postponed most of its previously announced shows in September to next year for “economic” and “other reasons.” The veteran Christian rockers announced the postponement in a statement on social media yesterday (Monday, August 22).
