Grizzly Bear’s tour bus was involved in an accident Thursday night after a show in Munich, Germany. According to a post on the band’s website, “the bus and trailer were hit and rendered immovable. The trailer was wrecked and the bus engine split.” Yikes!

But don’t worry– everybody’s OK. Unfortunately, the accident forced Grizzly Bear to miss their set opening for Wilco at Sala Conservatorio Verdi in Milan on Saturday night. Fortunately, no other shows on the band’s itinerary have been affected.
Their current European trek (with St. Vincent opening) continues through late November. They’re off to Australia in December and January and then hit the UK in March. Dates can be found over on the Grizzly Bear artist page.
