MONDO GENERATOR has been forced to drop off this year’s Ozzfest due to matters beyond the band’s control. A statement from band frontman Nick Oliveri reads as follows:

“It’s very disappointing but MONDO GENERATOR has been forced to cancel the remaining dates we have booked with Ozzfest and CIRCUS DIABLO. We tried everything in our power to make things work so that we could remain on tour, but unfortunately due to matters out of my control, it is impossible for us to continue touring at this time,” says Oliveri. “We’re very sorry to all the fans that will not be able to see us on these remaining dates and promise that we will be back soon. We would like to thank Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, as well as the entire Ozzfest crew for giving us the chance to play Ozzfest 2007. We’d also like to thank the fans that came out to show their support at the shows.”

MONDO GENERATOR’s new album Dead Planet was recently released through Suburban Noize Records.
