The New Pornographers Start Tour Without Three Members
The New Pornographers began their US fall tour without three members because they are waiting for visas to be approved.
The New Pornographers began their US fall tour for their new album The Former Site Of without three members because of visa delays. Kathryn Calder, John Collins and Todd Fancey, who reside in Canada, are waiting for their visas to be approved so they can tour in the United States.
Group leader A.C. Newman is continuing the concerts as a four-piece with Jillette Johnson, Josh Wells and bassist Noah Harmon. Newman said the group’s P2 visas were issued in five days last year, but the application submitted in February this year has still not been completed.
The group paid an additional $3,000 fee to speed up the visa process. Newman has a green card and Global Entry, while Johnson lives in Nashville and Wells lives in Chicago. The extended visa approval processes have also forced many international musicians and groups to postpone or cancel US tours.
