CODE ORANGE has canceled its previously announced headlining tour, along with other shows, due to “serious health issues” suffered by guitarist Dominic Landolina.
CODE ORANGE‘s upcoming trek was supposed to kick off on the ShipRocked cruise this coming February with dates running right through until March with an appearance at the Pulp Summer Slam festival.
In a statement posted yesterday (Friday, January 12) via the band’s official social media, CODE ORANGE wrote: “It pains us deeply to announce that we are canceling our upcoming headline tour, as well as the ShipRocked cruise / Pulp Summer Slam around it.
“Our guitarist Dom has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year that have led to his inability to play, perform and live comfortably. While he gritted through our fall performances, his issues were exasperated by them. We wanted to give him proper time to heal before making a group decision, and were very hopeful he would be able to return by February. Ultimately it’s been determined that he is unable to play guitar at this time. We take this decision very seriously, and this is the last way we intended to start this era.
“We have been together since we were teenagers, have ridden in vans and slept on floors for the majority of our career. No time period has been as difficult for us as the last few years. We are now focused on regaining our strength. We will be back with more stability and in full force.
“Thank you for the continued love and respect. Please support the amazing GEL, TEENAGE WRIST, SOUL BLIND, SPY and GRIDIRON on whatever they choose to do. Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
Last year, CODE ORANGE dropped their most recent studio release, “The Above,” through Blue Grape Music. This successor to 2020’s “Underneath” saw the band’s own Jami Morgan and Eric “Shade” Balderose taking on production duties, with engineering handled by Steve Albini.
