The nine-month hiatus is due to the band’s decision to focus on their yet-to-be-announced record, which frontwoman Lynn Gunn acknowledged was “in progress” in a statement released today (April 5).

The tour was supposed to be accompanied by a fresh new PVRIS record, but Gunn and her bandmates had been held back by “an endless amount of difficulties and setbacks brought on by the epidemic,” as well as a lack of support from their former company, Rise Records.

“Gina Welch has done an incredible job adapting this tale for FX, capturing Doc Rivers and the Clippers players’ unprecedented resolve and grace amid this devastating incident,” said Nick Grad, FX’s President of Original Programming, in a statement. “Gina, Nina Jacobson, and Brad Simpson go even deeper into this critical period in contemporary sports, building on Ramona Shelburne’s breakthrough reporting.”

There hasn’t been any word on when the show will debut.

She went on to say that the label’s “lack of space, lack of time, lack of budget, and conflict of priorities/interest regarding the PVRIS brand and community” made it “nearly impossible to have this album written, recorded, conceptualized, up to standard, and ready for your consumption by the time of this tour,” and that as a result, it became “nearly impossible to have this album written, recorded, conceptualized, up to standard, and ready for your consumption by the time of this tour.”

“I never want to compromise the artistic quality or integrity of our music and imagery,” Gunn continued, noting that PVRIS “is now free to move on into this next chapter.” This was something that had to be done far too many times throughout the last album cycle (we gave it our best despite the circumstances). That is something I will not do in the future.

“PVRIS deserves better and you deserve better, as you are the sole reason we get to do what we do.”

The tour will now kick off in Manchester on January 22, with shows in Glasgow, Birmingham and London following in quick succession. The European stint will start in Antwerp on January 29, with the band due to hit stages in Tilburg, Paris, Cologne, Hamberg, Vienna, Munich, Milan and Berlin from there. You can find tickets for the Glasgow, Birmingham and London shows here, with the rest available from PVRIS’ website.

PVRIS announced their “new era” last July, confirming that new music would be played at subsequent shows. They released an electric new single titled ‘My Way’ that October, and linked up with Miyavi for ‘Snakes’ in November.

The band released their third album, ‘Use Me’, in August of 2020. In a four-star review of the album, NME‘s Dannii Leivers described the album as one where Gunn “leaves her anxieties behind and steps forward into the spotlight”, delivering “the sound of an artist flexing her muscles, making sense of and peace with her past and, most importantly, embracing a new future”.

Last month, it was announced PVRIS would be supporting Machine Gun Kelly on several dates of his ‘Mainstream Sellout’ tour across North America.
