US have apparently plans for Europe in summer. That's a pity, I was looking forward to seeing Kansas in Loreley...Hopefully Yes won't follow this. Btw. Americans themselves who have been in Europe (e.g.Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Germany...) say it is generally much safer than their homeland.

Guys think "Eagles of Death Metal" and Paris.....That is what this is about. It's not about Kansas backing out, it is about protecting those that might be harmed at a show filled with innocent people. Yea the guys from Kansas walking around any European city would be fine, no doubt.

Put them on stage, in front of 8-12,000 people in a closed environment and its a tragic event waiting to happen....That's the world we live in.
"American Rock Band Ignores US Travel Warning......hundreds die at one of their shows in Europe due to terrorist act."
You/Kansas don't want to see that headline.......

Poor excuse is an understatement, this is some propaganda bullsh*t, this is what the oh so well-meaning American government is now spoon-feeding its people. Let me also remind you that te US has a higher homicide rate than any European country except for Albania, Ukraine and Lithuania, among other statistics... They'd be safer every moment they're NOT in the US.

Doubt it. Yeti are HUGE Kansas fans.

We all know Europe is extremely dangerous, especially during the Summer...

just posted this at the NotP-Thread, but don't know if everyone reads the Live-Subforum and i think this is something worth discussing here as well, because i'm just completely angry with this political stuff going on  ...

Official announcement posted at the NotP-Festival Facebook page:

"KANSAS regretfully announces the cancellation of its 2017 European Tour. The cancellation is based on safety and security warnings issued by the United States government and various U.S. law enforcement agencies concerning Americans traveling in Europe this summer. KANSAS is extremely saddened that the band will not be able to perform for its European fans this year. (Kansas will post this tonight on their website and FB Site)"
