John Wizards cancel tour :(

The "expenses and logistics of travelling from South Africa with so many people" has forced the pop band to cancel their forthcoming tour dates, including a sold-out show at London's Village Underground.

John Wizards have cancelled their upcoming UK/European mini-tour.

Originally due to take place from October 28th to November 5th, the tour would've seen the South African pop group play show a sold-out date at London's Village Underground as well as dates in Manchester, Liverpool, and across Europe.

"I hope you can all understand that the expenses and logistics of travelling from South Africa (on our passports) with so many people are sometimes insurmountably challenging but WE WILL BE BACK!", the band said on Facebook.
