Nervosa have withdrawn from the UK and Ireland tour they were due to play in support of Xentrix. The reason given is the health of guitarist Prika Amaral.

"If one thing is certain in life is that Nervosa loves the road. We never cancel shows but unfortunately due to health concerns with Prika, we will not be able to make the UK run with Xentrix," the band wrote. "Don't worry, we will be back up and running again extremely soon."

They were explicit about what is not affected: the 2027 North American tour, with Castrator, Embryonic Autopsy and Anger Within, goes ahead. "The tour in North America is NOT cancel and it will happen," the statement reads, in the band's own wording. "Prika just needs time to get better and she will explain more in her social media."

Amaral founded the band and is the only member who has been in it from the start, through a line-up that has turned over almost completely more than once. A Nervosa tour without her is not a thing the band have ever tried, which is presumably why the run came off rather than went ahead with a stand-in.
