Rose Tattoo Scrape Off 2026 European Tour Following Gary 'Angry' Anderson Hospitalisation

Australian hard rock stalwarts Rose Tattoo have scrubbed all remaining dates from their Summer 2026 European tour. The decision follows a social media announcement confirming that iconic frontman Gary "Angry" Anderson is currently hospitalised due to a medical issue.

The band expressed their devastation over the cancellation, requesting that fans and supporters respect the privacy of both Anderson and his family during this period. Ticketholders for the affected headline shows are being advised that they can request refunds via their original points of purchase.

We are absolutely devastated that we cannot continue this tour and share these remaining shows with you.

This tour was intended to be the band's final run through Europe. Despite the sudden setback, Anderson had previously spoken about his plans for a new studio album aimed at a late 2026 or early 2027 release. While the European dates are now off the table, the band remains set to perform in the US in 2027, which they noted would constitute their final tour dates on American soil.
