The Used Cancel UK and European Tour, Including Slam Dunk Festival

Fans were stoked to hear that The Used would be touring the UK and Europe in 2020, as well as an appearance at this year’s Slam Dunk Festival. However, the band have announced today that they will be canceling this tour, including Slam Dunk.

The Used’s eighth album, Heartwork, is out on April 24, and looks to be a return to form for the band.

“The new album plays on the emotions, the sincerity, and the vulnerability of the first record and In Love and Death, with a little bit of the flair from Lies for the Liars,” frontman Bert McCracken said. “Standing in the streaming circle pit with Kesha and Halsey, the album is just as modern sounding.”
