Mando Diao: Rock band cancels European tour

Stockholm. The Swedish rock band Mando Diao has canceled all concerts until the end of the year. As the band announced on Instagram, this is due to "personal reasons." In the post, the musicians apologized and wrote that they were looking forward to "returning to the stage" and sharing music with their fans again in the future.

The Swedes were currently on a European tour, including Germany. They recently played in Lüneburg. The planned concerts this week and next week in Lüdenscheid and Osnabrück will now be canceled.

The band, fronted by Björn Dixgård, was formed more than 20 years ago in Borlänge, Sweden. Mando Diao's biggest hits include songs like "Dance With Somebody" and "God Knows."
