According to an update from Loudwire earlier this week, the American Rejects 2025 tour that was originally due to feature Attila, Oceano, Dealer and Nathan James has seen Oceano drop off the bill. Tour plans began to fall apart when Alpha Wolf bassist Josh Arnold branded the tour as "the rapist abuser tour," referring to the sexual misconduct allegations made against Dealer vocalist Aidan Ellaz in 2018 when he was fronting Alpha Wolf, leading to his dismissal.
The resulting backlash, which painted the other artists in the tour in a negative light, pushed Oceano vocalist Adam Warren to announce that he is quitting the band. He has now checked in with the following message:
"The Funeral of Oceano:
Oceano had no other tour plans lined up for the year so that allows us to focus on pushing this forward smoothly.
We have started Talks and planning directly with our team on our final shows ever in 2025 (I must prepare you, Oceano is never coming back after these shows happen. Sorry, and if you’re those few truly happy about it? Me too. I’m getting too old for this shit, lol). The Funeral will be a unique experience and A fun send off for the REAL Oceano fans, friends, and family. I have been in talks with old friends abroad and from back home to have their bands or business be involved. I’m excited about being able to be super hands on with this! More news to come!
Meantime, Enjoy the new album, Living Chaos. It’s litterally the Last Oceano Album EVER to be done! Me and Scott are very proud of it, and I’m proud of Scott for writing such amazing heavy music. You all should work with and pay Scott (our guitarist/composer) to help you produce music. He’s a genius at it and I think he’d be greatly successful with it if he chose to work with a few good artists here and there.
As for me, I’m already focusing on my solo music / live rehearsals for my solo project down in Texas. I’ve been releasing music solo since 2022. So, moving on from Oceano,
Forward, NEVER backwards."
