Ventana + Deadly Apples Announce Rescheduled Saints of Sickness Tour Dates

The industrial metal cohorts in Ventana and Deadly Apples have announced the new dates for their Saints of Sickness Tour. After Ventana frontman Richard “Stitch” Thomas was injured in an accident, the bands were forced to reschedule their fall 2026 shows to winter 2027. Unfortunately, Aeternum will not be able to perform, so melodic dark metal outfit St. October will join as the supporting act from March 10th to March 20th.

All previously purchased tickets will be honored. If you haven’t already bought yours, you can still get them at ventanaband.com!

2026 Covers – Delta Circle: “Beat It”

Yeah, that “Beat It.” A band with roots deeply embedded in country and Southern rock, Delta Circle gives us a rather faithful take on this Michael Jackson song…with just a hint of Georgia twang!
