JAKARTA - Australia's surf rock music group Hockey Dad made an announcement through an official Instagram account that it had canceled its year-long tour schedule for Europe and the United Kingdom.

"Hi everyone. Due to fatigue and continued financial pressure due to international tours, we have to make difficult decisions to cancel the upcoming EU (EU)/UK (Britania Raya) tour," Hockey Dad wrote, citing a statement on the post, Wednesday, February 12.

We would like to apologize to all EU/UK friends who have bought tickets, and our team who have worked for this show. We really like touring, and it's very difficult for us to make this decision."

The group consisting of Zach Stephenson (vocals, guitar) and Billy Fleming (drums) as well as Steve Bourke (bass) as a member of the tour also regrets for disappointing people who have been waiting for their performances.

"The last thing we did was disappoint you. We promised to come back as soon as possible. We are very sorry," he said.

Meanwhile, tours in Europe and the United Kingdom were canceled covering 13 shows, from Berlin, Germany from March 7 to Dublin, Ireland on March 23.

Although 13 shows were canceled, the schedule for the Hockey Dad tour in New Zealand which is currently underway continues on schedule.

"After we finish this tour, it's time for us to press the reset button and plan for the next round for the band," Hockey Dad concluded.
