Thursday have cancelled all of their shows for this year, including their performance at the Give It A Name festival. The band have recently parted with their label Island Records.

The band's statement reads as follows:

"Friends

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will be canceling all of the current tour plans for 2007. This includes Give It a Name in Europe, our slot on the My Chemical Romance tour in Canada and our shows in Mexico. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this may cause and we're disappointed that we won't be seeing the people and places that we were looking forward to. We will be playing one of the shows we had planned, May 7 in California, PA.

We would like everyone to know that we will be devoting all of our time and energy this year to the future of our band. We recently got a second chance to start this band over fresh and we don't plan on wasting that chance. New music. New Records. New Labels. New Energy. This is what we've been dreaming about.

We've been so lucky to be a band that people BELIEVE in. We will be working hard to be worthy of that belief.

Thank You,

Geoff, Tom, Steve, Andrew, Tim and Tucker-- Thursday"
