CAVALERA have been forced to cancel their scheduled performance at the legendary Hellfest in Clisson, France, after the band was involved in a serious tour bus incident while traveling between festival appearances. The group had been scheduled to perform their celebrated Chaos A.D. set on the festival's Mainstage 2 on June 20.
According to reports circulating among festival attendees and fans, the incident involved significant damage to the band's tour bus windshield following their appearance at another European festival. While details remain limited, discussions surrounding the cancellation have described the event as a near-fatal accident, prompting the band to prioritize safety over continuing their travel schedule.
The news came as a major disappointment for fans attending Hellfest, where CAVALERA's performance was among the most anticipated thrash metal sets of the weekend. The band's current tour has seen Max and Iggor Cavalera revisiting material from Chaos A.D., bringing one of extreme metal's most influential albums back to stages around the world
While the cancellation is undoubtedly frustrating for both the band and fans, the overwhelming reaction from the metal community has been one of relief that those involved reportedly escaped the incident. As the dust settles, supporters worldwide will be hoping for a swift recovery and a safe continuation of the tour once circumstances allow.
