The Field was denied entry to the US and has had to cancel upcoming dates, including their scheduled Seattle date at Nectar:

It’s with the utmost regret that Axel WIllner aka The Field has been forced to cancel his date at Skidmore College, New York tonight and all West Coast dates including Coachella. All members of his newly formed band were denied entry to the United States by immigration officials upon arrival. As well, his gear and instruments were refused entry into the country. We have no comment at this time as to the reason for why this occurred.

Fans and all involved should know that every option was exhausted to rectify this disastrous situation and on behalf of The Field and his band we are all deeply saddened by the outcome of what has transpired.

Given the months of practice and preparation put in with his band for these dates and the fact that his gear has been sent back to Stockholm, The Field aka Axel Willner is in no position to be able to continue on solo so therefore forced to postpone his west coast dates.

But better said in his own words:

“i´m truly sad to inform that my west coast tour have been cancelled. my band didn´t get in to the country and i feel that i cant perform as interesting as i need to without them. hopefully we´ll be back on the east coast pretty soon without any problems and do the new set up that i hope people will appreciate.

my biggest apology goes out to all the people that were looking forward as much as us to attend the shows that were planned. next time.”

Too bad, I was really looking forward to seeing how the “live band” thing was going to play out.

Update: From the all-knowing Division list: “word is that immigration “didn’t like their appearance.”” Awesome!
