Ratt Forced To Cancel UK Dates

• 9th Jun 2010

Ratt have been forced to cancel their upcoming European tour dates, which includes this weekend’s Download Festival at Donington Park and next week’s UK club shows. Vocalist Stephen Pearcy will be undergoing urgent hernia surgery this week. The band regrets missing the European dates on the heels of the release of their first album in eleven years, ‘Infestation’.

Ratt shares this disappointment with all their European fans who planned to attend the shows at Sweden Rock, Sauna Open Air Festival, UK Download, Hellfest, Graspop and Gods of Metal as well as their other headline club dates. The band is looking into rescheduling as many of the shows as possible.

Pearcy's doctors anticipate a full recovery in time for Ratt’s North American schedule, which includes a run with The Scorpions, beginning in July and running through September.

We wish Pearcy a speedy recovery.
