Helmet cancel headlining tour over COVID concerns

Helmet have cancelled their September run of headlining shows because of COVID concerns. In a statement, they write, "Due to the ongoing pandemic and for the safety of all concerned we are disappointed to have to cancel our short run of headline dates in the US due to take place later this month. We hope to be able to revisit some if not all these shows in 2022 and desperately look forward to an uninterrupted schedule finally and get back out on the road. Be safe everyone and thanks for your support."

The dates were scheduled to begin in mid-September, with stops in Indianapolis, Louisville, Saint Louis, Wichita, Tulsa, and more.

Still on are Helmet's shows with Ministry and Front Line Assembly. Helmet replaced KMFDM on the bill, and they're scheduled to begin on October 3 in Albuquerque, and continue into November. See those dates below.
