Band will appear as scheduled in South America
Extreme has been forced to cancel their scheduled performance at M3 Rock Festival in Columbia, MD on Saturday, May 6th after guitarist Nuno Bettencourt suffered a knee injury while on the Monsters of Rock Cruise earlier this week. Bettencort was playing basketball while at sea when he injured his knee, resulting in his inability to perform this weekend.
“It breaks our heart to announce that due to Nuno’s severe knee injury, Extreme will be unable to perform at this year’s M3 Rock Festival this weekend,” organizers of the two day festival in Maryland share. “Rest assured, Nuno is going to be ok and everyone attending the festival is going to have a great time. We are working diligently to book another stellar artist, and will make an announcement as soon as we have confirmation. We’re looking forward to rocking out with you this weekend at Merriweather Post Pavilion.”
“I am seriously bummed out that Extreme are unable to perform for everyone at M3 Rock Festival as we’ve been looking forward to the festival for several months,” Bettencort shares. “We apologize for the inconvenience to fans attending the festival. I can’t wait to get back on the stage once I’m all mended up.”
The band will continue to appear as scheduled for all upcoming dates. Their next show is June 2nd at Best of Blues & Rock Festival in Sao Paulo, BR alongside Tom Morello. Extreme will promote their much-anticipated new album Six, due June 9 via earMUSIC, on the Thicker Than Blood headlining global tour with dates in North America and Australia with Living Colour, and Japan.
