Originally, Columbus, OH was slated as the kickoff location for the tour but production delays forced the band to reschedule.
The stop was moved to the very end of the tour, adding All Time Low to the lineup to make the wait worth it.

As of yesterday, there was no reason for the cancelation. Now, Gaskarth has kind of explained that the cancelation was “completely beyond our control” and apologized to fans.
Refunds are available at point of purchase. Again, really sorry this one fell through.
