We put it off for a long time, considered and weighed it up, but unfortunately the development of the last few months, but above all the still uncertain prospects for autumn, leave us no other choice than cancel our joint tour of “seven steps, which has already been postponed to 2021 to the green door “+” CYRIL “+ Manuel Schmid & Marek Arnold now completely.
The reasons are certainly not surprising: for many months there have been no rehearsals, no joint planning in terms of technical and organizational implementation. The lack of support for artists / self-employed soloists and the existential cancellation of all concerts for some of us and the resulting loss of income make it impossible for us to (pre-) invest in the implementation of the tour. Printing posters, PR & promo, trips to rehearsals or investments in technology (s) and organization are currently hardly possible for us. If, as a result of a positive pandemic development, concerts can actually take place again in October without too great restrictions and hygiene concepts that additionally drive up costs, some of the band members are dependent on their income from regular musical services.
We also think it is unlikely that the fans will return to the normal “concert routine” in the autumn as they did before “Corona”, uncertainty and respect for the virus and its mutations are still too deep. It is also not yet foreseeable whether all organizers will be able to carry out such concerts economically. We very much regret that the long planned tour with dear friends, motivated partners, the committed organizers, lighting technicians, videographers and sponsors cannot take place. The planned live DVD will of course not be recorded either.
We are very grateful that they stood by us until the end, and hope that under better conditions we can catch up on the tour at a later date.
All 3 bands / projects are currently working all the harder on the next releases, which will soon see the light of day.
