The statement on the band’s social media reads:
“Hello everyone,
This year, we’ve decided to take a break from touring. We’ve been on the road non-stop since 2021, and we feel we need a moment to rest. Therefore, the only shows we’ll be playing for you in 2025 will be the MidWinter Prog Festival in Utrecht, the Netherlands, which takes place in just two weeks, and Cruise To The Edge, which unfortunately is already sold out.
Of course, to make sure we don’t leave you empty-handed, we’ll be releasing our official concert film “Live ID.” on January 24th!
That said, if you’d like to see us live one more time before our break, we can only invite you to the Netherlands on January 25th! There are still some tickets left. Just a reminder, during the MidWinter Prog Festival, we’re going back to the classics and playing a different setlist. So see you there!“
Piotr Kozieradzki has been the band’s drummer for nearly 25 years. He currently uses gear from the following brands: DW, Paiste, Remo.
