The Rise – Official Statement
The Rise have been officially informed that the planned tour date in Mexico City agreed with the Global Battle Of The Bands (GBOB Ltd.) as a prize will now no longer take place. GBOB Ltd. has confirmed that due to a withdrawal of sponsorship in Mexico the trip had to be cancelled for all bands.
Our management is currently in London trying to resolve this issue to ensure the best outcome for The Rise.
The Rise cannot hide their disappointment at the cancellation of this trip and offer out sincere apologies to all who have encouraged us in this endeavour.< /div>
GBOB Ltd. is now looking to compensate both bands for this cancellation by arranging support appearances on Kopek’s World tour.
The Rise will now concentrate on completing their second E.P. and are currently in negotiations for a month long UK tour in the autumn.
The Rise will continue to work hard at writing and playing the music they lov e and hope you continue to support us.
