Legendary HANOI ROCKS frontman Michael Monroe was forced to postpone two shows in Finland after breaking his ribs at this past weekend’s Planet Rockstock festival in Trecco Bay, South Wales, United Kingdom.

Earlier today, the following message was posted on Michael‘s social media: “We regret to announce that this weekend’s Michael Monroe shows in Helsinki & Tampere have been postponed.

Michael was injured this past weekend at Planet Rockstock, resulting in broken ribs. His doctors have said that he will need at least 6 weeks to recover.

“Tickets for both shows will be valid for the new dates. If you are unable to make it to the rescheduled dates, refunds will be available from point-of-purchase.”

The rescheduled dates are as follows:

March 5, 2025 – Tampere, Finland @ Tavara-Ssema

* New venue. Tickets remain valid.

As previously reported, Monroe will return to the U.S. West Coast for three very special shows in 2025.
