PWR BTTM Reportedly Cancel Entire Tour
Since sexual assault allegations against PWR BTTM’s Ben Hopkins emerged last week — including a detailed account from one survivor who claimed the band lied in their original statement on the matter — the duo’s career has essentially been disassembled piece by piece. Their label and management dropped them, one touring member quit, and a number of opening acts dropped off their upcoming tour. And now it’s looking like the tour won’t even happen. Several venues have already cancelled PWR BTTM’s performances, and now Pitchfork points out that the St. Louis venue Off Broadway posted the following to Facebook: “This just in: PWR BTTM is cancelling all upcoming shows until further notice. The band will be making a formal statement early next week.” We’ll post the band’s statement when it becomes available.
