Scream Invasion festival , which takes place on November 2nd at Vibra SP in São Paulo , featuring Black Veil Brides , announced this Saturday, the 18th, the cancellation of the band Underoath . Last Monday, the 13th, another previously announced band, Silverstein , cancelled their participation.
In a statement, the organizers of Scream Invasion said:
"We were surprised once again to learn of the cancellation of Underoath's shows in South America. A few days ago, we received similar news regarding Silverstein. We don't know the real reason for these cancellations, considering that all the commitments we made were fully fulfilled. The local production is 100% complete: venue, hotel, transportation, technical production."
"For us, this kind of thing is extremely sad, as we strive to do our best to ensure the event is always a special moment for the fans, and we are very frustrated that there is nothing we can do about it. We apologize for what happened, even knowing that we are not to blame and these situations are beyond our control."

The festival organizers also announced that the lineup will remain the same, featuring the bands Black Veil Brides, Senses Fail, I Set My Friends on Fire , and Gloria . Tickets are still available for purchase on the Pixel Ticket website.
The Underoath announcement
In a statement on social media, Underoath announced that he will be postponing his Latin American shows, but will still perform in Mexico City on October 25th, as well as in Guatemala City and Costa Rica. Read the statement below:
"South America! Unfortunately, we've had to adjust our plans for next month's South American tour. Sadly, we'll need to postpone our shows in Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and Argentina to this upcoming run. We are EXCITED that we can still head to Mexico City on October 25th for the We Missed Ourselves Festival. And we're still going to rock our headlining shows in Guatemala City and Costa Rica!"
We always try our best to avoid canceling any shows, but unfortunately there was no other option this time. We have so much love for South America and a huge thank you to everyone we'll see there, as well as the promoters who made it possible for us to get there. We plan to return to all of South America as soon as possible and we already miss you all.”
