Three of Indonesia’s biggest extreme metal powerhouses: Jasad, DeadSquad, and Death Vomit, were forced to cancel their tour stops in Cork, Ireland, and London, UK, during their Cataclysmic Summer Tour 2026 after local promoter Diablo Productions failed to deliver on basic logistics and contractual obligations.
The tour ran into trouble right from the start, but the crisis peaked after their opening gig at Lost Lane in Dublin on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Following the Dublin performance, Diablo Productions claimed a sudden van breakdown prevented them from arranging travel, lodging, or transport to their next stop in Cork.
However, London venue The Underworld Camden blew the whistle, confirming that the promoter had never finalized a booking, paid rental fees, or responded to multiple inquiries.
The bands issued a two-page joint statement on August 16 detailing the cancellations, citing broken promises regarding venues, transport, and lodging, while calling out the promoter’s gross negligence and warning fellow musicians about working with them.

The fiasco left a 16-person touring party stranded around Dublin’s Grafton Street.
Thankfully, on August 17, the local Indonesian diaspora rallied after catching wind of the situation through social media and local metal fans. Spearheaded by community members, locals provided emergency accommodation, meals, essential supplies, and financial relief, with additional diplomatic backing from the Indonesian Embassy in London and the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs.
Despite the setback, the three bands are determined to push forward, aiming to resume their scheduled tour dates starting August 20 in Eindhoven, Netherlands, before heading across Germany, Belgium, Austria, and Switzerland through early September.
