U.S Tour Cancelled
STATEMENT FROM THE BAND
It is with great regret that we have to inform you that the upcoming tour of the USA has been canceled. We have been unable to secure the appropriate visas and work documents necessary. After months of preparation, the opportunity to tour America has once again been snatched from us. We have had top Nike lawyers and US senators working flat out in an attempt to bring this all together, but due to the current political climate, the immigration department were unable to grant the paperwork in time.
We have no plans to visit America until a new application can be made and successfully processed.
We are deeply sorry to all our friends and fans who have bought tickets, but hope the future will prove more successful for Kajagoogoo in America. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved at The Boss Booking Agency, Nike and Vh1, for the time and effort put in, trying to make this happen.

Nick, Steve and Stu have all worked really hard, and the band was sounding so great. Getting the application for the work permits was tougher than anyone anticipated. We sent them tonnes of info on the band, but they always wanted more and in the end time ran out. I spent quite a few nights last week working throught he night, working Californian hours to keep abreast of what was going on. Let me tell you, it’s no fun going to bed at 4am when your kids wake up at 6am
