It is with great regret that DragonForce have been forced to postpone their debut tour of Latin America due the Swine Flu crisis. The travel restrictions and Government restrictions on gatherings of large groups of people locally has meant it is impossible for them to play their shows this month.


Guitarist Herman Li stated; "We are obviously not happy as we were all really looking forward to touring Latin America for the first time and were all set to go, but there is nothing we can do about it, this has been forced upon us by Government intervention. Work has already started on re-scheduling the shows so any fans who bought tickets should keep them as they will be valid for the new dates. Watch out for announcements in the media or online as we will be playing there in the near future for sure"!


Meantime, Dragonforce are set to play the main stage on Saturday 13th June at this year’s Download Festival. Download Festival 2009. Plans are afoot for further UK shows later this year in support of current album, ‘Ultra Beatdown’.
