Indonesian metal bands face tour disruptions in Europe

Three Indonesian metal bands—DeadSquad, Jasad, and Death Vomit—faced significant disruptions during their 2026 Cataclysmic European Tour due to alleged failures by promoter Diablo Productions. The bands reported that scheduled performances in Cork, Ireland, and London, United Kingdom, were canceled after the promoter failed to fulfill commitments regarding venues, transportation, and accommodation.

In London, the venue reported that Diablo Productions had not officially reserved or paid for the space. Following a performance in Dublin, the 16-person group, including musicians and crew, was left without accommodation. They were temporarily assisted by Indonesian diaspora members in Ireland, including Ailsa Dempsey, who provided housing and supplies.

A GoFundMe campaign was launched to raise approximately 10,000 euros to cover travel expenses for the group to reach their next scheduled performance in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Following successful fundraising efforts, the tour is set to continue.
