Bad Omens Tease Fans With Cryptic Social Media Post Suggesting New Music Might Be On the Horizon

Anticipation is reaching a fever pitch among Bad Omens fans as the band shared a tantalizingly simple nine-second graphic on their social media platforms. The cryptic post features a ‘Loading’ message, sparking widespread speculation and excitement about potential new music.

Given the band’s recent activity, this teaser comes as no surprise. Last year, Bad Omens confirmed they were working on not one, but two albums, setting the stage for a busy and prolific period. Adding fuel to the fire, they recently released Concrete Jungle [The OST], an innovative album featuring reimagined tracks from their hit album The Death Of Peace Of Mind. This project includes exciting collaborations with artists like HEALTH, ERRA, and Wargasm (UK).

The band’s ability to create buzz around their projects is unmatched. Concrete Jungle [The OST] also includes the standout track V.A.N, a collaboration with Poppy, who joined Bad Omens on their Concrete Forever Tour dates in Europe, adding even more star power to the band’s lineup.

With such a rich backdrop of recent releases and collaborations, the brief ‘Loading’ graphic is more than enough to ignite fans’ hopes for a new full-length project. As the anticipation builds, all eyes are on Bad Omens, eagerly waiting for what comes next.

Bad Omens Cancel All Upcoming European Summer Appearances

In an unexpected announcement, Bad Omens have cancelled all their upcoming Europe and UK summer appearances due to “extreme burnout.” The news was shared by frontman Noah Sebastian on the band’s social media channels.

In his statement, Sebastian emphasized the need to prioritize his health and the overall well-being of the band. He explained, “We need to protect and restore all of the energy that will be demanded of us again as soon as we transition into the next chapter.”

This decision means that Bad Omens will also not be headlining the Opus Stage at Download Festival on June 14th, as previously scheduled. The band was also set to perform at several other shows across mainland Europe.

Fans have expressed their support and understanding, wishing the band a swift recovery and looking forward to their return. The band has not yet announced any plans for rescheduling the cancelled shows.
