An Idolator P.S.A.: Alphabeat Is Off The Katy Perry Tour

The Danish popsters Alphabeat were one of 2008’s bright spots and one of the acts this site championed, so it wouldn’t be a big surprise that a few of us kicked around the idea of purchasing tickets to see decided Idolator non-fave Katy Perry, who was taking the band on tour with her. While it probably would have been worth the 12 bucks the University of Arizona was charging to catch six Alphabeat songs and take an early trip home, I’m glad I didn’t turn over my credit card number just yet: An e-mail to me from their UK manager informed me that the band has canceled those dates. Disappointing, but I’m glad to know that the band is instead working on their second album and will be heading to the States later in the year. If you bought Katy Perry tickets like I almost did, I’m sorry. So, so sorry. [Official site]
