Destruction are forced to postpone their previously announced South American tour dates to August.

Destruction's manager, Jeff Keller, has issued the following statement regarding the forthcoming South American tour: "Due to circumstances beyond our control, Destruction is postponing this month's scheduled South American dates. Unfortunately there were multiple issues, most notably regarding travel logistics, that have forced us to reschedule these dates. All six of the previously scheduled dates will now be moved to the month of August. Our apologies to our South American fans who had planned to attend the shows this month. The band is looking forward to August, and we are very pleased that all six shows were able to be successfully moved."

Destruction singer Schmier just gave us the following quote: "I am really bummed out about that bureaucratic bullshit, while I'm sitting here on my luggage, ready to take off! At least all shows will still happen though and are just moved back a bit to August! Sorry folks but nobody is more disappointed than myself, Latin America became my second home in the last years, the passion for Metal there is the real deal!"

Aug. 19 - Guatemala - Guatemala City - Akellare 4 Grados Norte
