The Gaslight Anthem robbed in Sweden

The Gaslight Anthem were forced to pull their show at Helsinki's Tavastia this evening due to a robbery. The band's van was broken into shortly after their show on February 13 at Gothenburg's Sticky Fingers. The theft then caused a chain of events which led to the cancellation. Drummer Benny Horowitz explained the band's unlucky evening on their official MySpace site. "Crap! No Helsinki show. We were robbed the night after our Gothenburg show at a local hotel. Gunnar and I woke up to three windows smashed out and the back door shredded from prying. Luckily, nothing very valuable was taken, but, we had to get reports from Swedish police (slow as fuck), and missed our ferry by minutes! We literally raced down the highways, freezing cold, for five hours and parked to watch it pull away. "We're super bummed," he added. "We were all really looking forward to this show and pissed that this happened. We're sincerely sorry this happened. But, I guess this one was out of our reach. We'll keep you posted on any happening/reschedules involved with the show." The band are set to support their hero Bruce Springsteen at this year's Hard Rock Calling in London's Hyde Park on June 28.
