Code Orange were set to embark on a headlining North American tour in February, but have canceled the outing due to guitarist Dominic Landolina’s “serious health issues.”
In addition to the tour — which was set to feature support from Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron — Code Orange have also nixed their appearances on the ShipRocked cruise and at the Pulp Summer Slam. In a lengthy message posted to their social media pages, Code Orange revealed that Landolina’s health has been suffering “over the past year.”
The band’s full statement reads as follows:
“It pains us deeply to announce that we are canceling our upcoming headline tour, as well as the ShipRocked cruise / Pulp Summer Slam around it. Our guitarist Dom has been dealing with serious health issues over the past year that have led to his inability to play, perform and live comfortably. While he gritted through our fall performances, his issues were exasperated by them.
We wanted to give him proper time to heal before making a group decision, and were very hopeful he would be able to return by February. Ultimately its been determined that he is unable to play guitar at this time. We take this decision very seriously, and this is the last way we intended to start this era.
We have been together since we were teenagers, have ridden in vans and slept on floors for the majority of our career. No time period has been as difficult for us as the last few years. We are now focused on regaining our strength. We will be back with more stability and in full force. Thank you for the continued love and respect. Please support the amazing Gel, Teenage Wrist, Soul Blind, Spy and Gridiron on whatever they choose to do. Refunds are available at point of purchase.”
Code Orange were set to be on the road in support of their new album, The Above, which dropped in September 2023, and features a guest appearance from Billy Corgan on the track “Take Shape.”
We recently posted our video interview with frontman Jami Morgan, who discussed The Above, collaborating with Corgan, working with new drummer Max Portnoy, and more. That conversation can be seen below.
