STRAY FROM THE PATH Respond to Fan Backlash Over Farewell Tour Routing, Confirm Final West Coast Date

Stray From The Path, the politically charged rap metalcore band, officially announced on May 30th that their latest album, Clockworked, would be their final release as they prepare to wind down their career this year with a farewell tour.

Tour dates have started to be revealed, with a European/UK leg announced on June 11th and, on June 12th, the band confirmed what they’re calling their “final” West Coast headlining show, set for July 25th at The Glass House in Pomona, CA. Tickets go on sale June 13th at 12:00pm PST.

However, the initial routing has sparked criticism from fans upset about cities that were not included. In response, drummer Craig Reynolds took to X on June 11th to address these complaints directly. He shared a series of candid posts highlighting the personal sacrifices he’s made while touring with the band over the years, bluntly telling fans to travel if they want to see them live:

“we’re 4 grown ass men travelling 20000+ miles multiple times this year to try and play some final shows. the band is done, we don’t wanna do this anymore. so you get what you get. if you’re upset get a flight, i’ve taken 22 this year. if you’re mad, good news we’re breaking up!!”

Reynolds explained the band is already going out of their way to perform these farewell shows after initially debating ending without a final tour. He admitted to feeling worn out but remains committed to giving fans a proper sendoff.

Currently, the announced farewell dates cover a broad stretch of Europe and the UK, with further U.S. shows planned but not yet revealed. The band urged fans to stay tuned for additional announcements.
