House Of Protection cancel this month’s Reading & Leeds performances

House Of Protection have unfortunately just announced the cancellation of this month’s Reading & Leeds performances.

Stephen Harrison and Aric Improta are no longer able to make the trip to the UK festivals due to the recent cancellation of the physical edition of the Heavy Music Awards – with HOP explaining in a candid statement that they now “don’t have the resources” to come to the UK for just Reading & Leeds alone.

“We are devastated to announce that we will no longer be performing at this year’s Reading & Leeds Festivals,” they share. “Most of the funding to make this short trip possible was coming from our performance at the Heavy Music Awards, which unfortunately has been cancelled due to unforeseen and serious health issues affecting a key member of their team. Our condolences go out to that team member during this challenging time.

“We are deeply sorry to disappoint those who were excited to see us. Unfortunately, we simply don’t have the resources to make this happen at the moment. Your support means everything to us, and we want to assure you that we are already looking forward to making it up to you in the near future (Spain as well). This decision was not easy for us. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We’ll be back in the UK with Architects in October.”
