Tigers Jaw Announce Hiatus, UK Dates To Go Ahead

In some very sad news this Friday afternoon, Tigers Jaw have announced that they will be going on hiatus.

The news came when Brianna Collins made the statement, explaining that three of the band’s members decided they were unable to continue with the band due to personal reasons.

The remaining two members - Collins and Ben Walsh - have assured fans that they will continue with their planned UK commitments, using an array of ‘talented friends’ to step in temporarily before the band comes to an end. This means that the band will still support The Menzingers and appear at this year’s Hevy Festival, but have been forced to cancel the mainland Europe dates.

The full statement from Collins can be found below.

After our show in Scranton two weeks ago, Adam, Pat, and Dennis let Ben and I know that for personal reasons they are unable to do Tigers Jaw right now. This was a surprise for the both of us, but everyone is on good terms, and we respect and support them and their decisions.

A full band Tigers Jaw lineup (consisting of Ben and I with the help of some talented friends) will be doing a full US tour in May-June as well as the UK dates of the previously announced tour with the Menzingers in August. We regret to announce that we will have to cancel the mainland Europe dates. We apologize to the promoters, venues, and anyone who bought tickets.

These are likely to be the last Tigers Jaw tours for the foreseeable future. US tour dates will be announced soon. Thanks.

- Brianna
