The band was scheduled to headline the Bordel Na Dunaji competition in Slovakia on August 2, however reportedly stopped speaking altogether after arriving in Berlin.
Loud Farm Reserving, the company dealing with the competition, shared a put up on Instagram Tales (translated from Slovakian by way of Lambgoat) together with a screenshot of an e-mail addressed to an worker named Igor. Their assertion paints an image of complete radio silence and abandonment on the band’s half:
“Our Saturday headliner Attila is not going to carry out…
“The reason being that the band stopped speaking with administration and the company after arriving in Berlin. The tour was prepared, the driving force waited with the bus all day in entrance of the lodge, whereas the band determined to not talk and abruptly canceled all the European tour, regardless that they have been already in Europe with the entire crew…
“Sadly, at this second we’ve not been capable of finding an enough alternative for a band like Attila. We all know that a lot of you have been trying ahead to this band, however their reckless choice to cancel all the tour on the final minute is one thing we are able to’t repair at this second…
“The one compensation we are able to at the moment supply is a 50% low cost on a Sunday ticket to everybody who purchased a ticket for Saturday—in order that no less than you’ll be able to take pleasure in correct headliners on Sunday…
“We deeply apologize for these issues, we’ll make it as much as you subsequent time.”
An accompanying e-mail—allegedly from somebody inside Attila’s touring crew—backs up the promoter’s model of occasions and suggests the band lower ties with out chatting with administration or crew:
“Sadly I’ve some unhealthy information to share with you. Attila flew into Berlin yesterday afternoon to begin their European summer season tour in the present day. Sadly we obtained the information earlier in the present day that the band determined to cancel their full tour shortly after arrival, because of an ‘challenge’ with their bus. Their bus provider supplied a wonderfully workable resolution for them to begin the tour as deliberate, however the band made up their thoughts and one-sided made the choice to cancel the complete factor, with out chatting with us nor to their very own supervisor.
“Each their administration and us have been attempting to come up with the band all through the day to debate and work out an answer for a non-existing drawback. however sadly all members have been radio silent and no person has been capable of have a correct dialog with them.
“fIt has grow to be clear now they don’t have any intention to nonetheless do that tour (regardless that they nonetheless flew to Berlin simply yesterday) and are 100% cancelling all exhibits, with out speaking to anybody of their crew nor offering clarification for promoters. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience brought about right here, and want I may offer you extra perception of their scenario.”

Feedback have been turned off on Loud Farm Reserving’s Instagram put up, and the band’s Fb is restricted to customers who’ve adopted them for over 24 hours. Their official X (previously Twitter) account has been inactive since 2024.
There’s been no new music from Attila since final 12 months, and this sudden vanishing act has solely added to the silence. No alternative headliner has been introduced for the Slovakian competition, and the scenario has left followers throughout Europe pissed off and with out solutions.
If Attila do return to the stage once more, they’ll have some critical explaining to do.
