"We wanted to move by our original schedule, but we've realized we would benefit from more time and bandwidth to give beltway, our pride and joy, the moment it deserves. We are postponing the album and all other performances."
"Ekko Astral is no longer playing Liberation Weekend II. We urge you to please still go. This festival has always been bigger than this band. Please share the event with your friends and family. Not only is this fest filled with incredible talent but it is vital to support trans rights, trans care, and trans art right now."
"At the end of March, we will be supporting mclusky on the West Coast, and playing Treefort Fest. On that run, you can look forward to never-performed songs from our upcoming record, 'the beltway is burning'."
Ekko Astral announced a hiatus to recalibrate following their departure from Topshelf Records. The band is delaying the release of their second album, 'The Beltway is Burning,' and canceling their headlining shows and Liberation Weekend II performance. However, they will continue with their scheduled West Coast tour supporting Mclusky and their Treefort Music Fest appearance in late March, where they plan to debut unreleased songs. The band emphasized needing additional time and resources to properly present their album. Liberation Weekend II will proceed as planned with a volunteer team, supporting trans rights and care initiatives, though Ekko Astral will not perform.
