Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes announce an indefinite hiatus at the end of their European tour

With just over a month to go before we can enjoy the up to 4 concerts that Frank Carter and his band The Rattlesnakes will be playing in Barcelona, Bilbao, A Coruña and Madrid, we have been taken by surprise by their announcement on social networks that, after 9 years as a band, they will be taking an indefinite break at the end of this European tour.

As shared in an image on their Instagram profile, the open letter, signed by Frank Carter and guitarist Dean Richardson, states ‘Nine years, five albums, hundreds of stages shared all over the world and our songs sung with each and every one of you. It is with sadness we announce that The Rattlesnakes are taking a hiatus. From the deepest lows to highest highs, in grief in anger and in joy, our band has been a celebration of being alive no matter the circumstances. We want to send our love and thanks to the band – Gareth, Tank , Elliot & Mitch. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with some of the best musicians we know. So please join us all in celebration of the songs that changed our lives. Our UK and European Tour will go ahead and we look forward to seeing you all on the dancefloor. “.
