Fernando are you guys still planning on playing SA in November? The media keeps saying no concerts until 2021.

As of now, yes. However due to what’s been happening in the world, it’s unfortunately unknown when everything is going to be “contained” and our lives back to some sort of normalcy. We are working with LN to come to the best solution and an announcement soon.
If rescheduled, we are forward thinking and going through new routing changes whilst considering availability. Lots of rescheduling happening for 2021 as a precaution of what’s unknown in 2020.
Sucks I don’t have a definite update or one you would prefer, but it’s the only one I have.
Our partners are working on the above and I am told we should hear something soon.
While in the meantime, as I said on another post that we are working on giving the fans long waited video material that should of rightfully been available to the base already. (Live videos and/or photos, etc...)
