Tonight's highly anticipated concert by The Disco Biscuits at the State Theatre in Portland, Maine has been canceled. In a heartfelt statement released on social media, the band expressed their condolences to the victims, their families, and the entire Maine community affected by the tragic events.

The cancellation comes in the wake of a mass shooting that took place in Lewiston, Maine, leaving at least 18 people dead and 13 others injured, according to a report by The New York Times. Law enforcement agencies are currently conducting a manhunt to apprehend the suspected gunman.

Upon learning of the devastating events in Maine, the members of The Disco Biscuits expressed their grief and disbelief. In their statement, they stated, "Sitting here on our bus, sad, and in disbelief. We found out about the events in Maine right after the show in Hartford last night, and our hearts absolutely sank for the entire community."

Out of respect for the victims, their families, and the community that is undoubtedly reeling from the tragedy, the band made the difficult decision to cancel the concert. They emphasized that their thoughts are with those affected and expressed their hope to return to Portland in the near future.

The band is planning to proceed with their upcoming shows at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York. The concerts are scheduled for this Friday, October 27, and Saturday, October 28, as stated by The Disco Biscuits themselves.

For ticket holders of the canceled show in Maine, refunds are available through the point of purchase. However, fans also have the option to hold onto their tickets for a rescheduled date, which is yet to be announced by the band.

In closing, The Disco Biscuits sent a message of love and support to the Maine community. They said, "We love you Maine, you are in our hearts, and we hope to be back soon. Stay safe everyone."

The cancellation of The Disco Biscuit's show serves as a somber reminder of the impact that tragic events can have on communities and the need to prioritize the healing process during times of grief and anguish.
