Oceano Replacements Announced by Attila for 2025 Tour
Attila has officially unveiled two exciting bands that will take the place of Oceano on their highly anticipated 2025 America’s Rejects tour. The announcement has generated considerable buzz among fans eager for live performances.
Originally revealed in late November, the America’s Rejects tour, headlined by Attila, was set to include notable acts such as Dealer, Oceano, and Nathan James. However, following a wave of backlash, Oceano’s lead vocalist, Adam Warren, made the decision to exit the band mere days after the tour’s announcement.
In a significant update, Attila has now confirmed that the dynamic groups Butcher Babies and Ded will be joining the lineup in place of Oceano. The tour kicks off on March 4 in the vibrant city of Destin, Florida, and concludes on April 5 in lively Tampa, promising fans a series of unforgettable performances.
To complement this exciting tour announcement, the band has also released a new single titled “America’s Rejects.” This powerful anthem encapsulates the spirit of individuals who have ever felt marginalized or out of place, serving as a bold declaration against societal norms. Frontman Chris Fronzak expressed his enthusiasm, stating that adding Butcher Babies and Ded elevates the tour to unprecedented heights. “This tour is more than just a series of shows; it’s a powerful movement,” he declared in a press release.
Fronzak emphasized the tour’s purpose: “We’re rallying the rejects, the outcasts, and all those ready to defy the conventional. 2025 is our year, and this tour is poised to be a resounding statement against anything that holds you back!”
Don’t miss the chance to experience the energy of the new single below, along with a captivating social media post featuring the official tour poster. Tickets are available for purchase on Attila’s official website, ensuring fans can be part of this remarkable event.

Oceano Faces Backlash for Joining Forces with Attila and Dealer
In response to the backlash surrounding their decision to tour with Attila and Dealer, Oceano’s vocalist Adam Warren addressed the criticism head-on. One notable comment came from the Texas-based DIY record label ds//fp records, which expressed concern, stating, “…y’all signed onto a tour where people need to cover their drinks and watch out.”
This comment likely alluded to the serious sexual misconduct allegations that have been directed towards Fronzak in the past, as well as those against Dealer’s frontman Aidan Ellaz Holmes, who left his previous band Alpha Wolf in 2018 after facing similar accusations.

Warren initially responded by denying any awareness of wrongdoing among the musicians involved, explaining that he does not frequently engage with social media. He reassured fans that should any inappropriate actions occur during the tour, he would not hesitate to speak out.

Shortly thereafter, Warren made headlines by announcing his departure from Oceano through a detailed statement. He acknowledged, “It’s evident that I was not adequately informed to make a responsible choice about touring with this lineup. This is the first time I’ve encountered such significant controversy surrounding bands, and I only learned of the serious allegations after the tour was announced.”
Consequently, Oceano officially withdrew from the America’s Rejects tour, leaving fans to speculate about the future of the band.
Fronzak’s Reaction to Oceano’s Exit
When asked about Oceano’s decision to leave the tour, Fronzak did not hold back, stating bluntly, “Yeah, here’s my comment – I don’t give a fuck!”
In a follow-up response to another comment referencing “cancel culture wannabes,” he quipped, “They’re popping out of their troll holes again, everyone buckle up.” His remarks reflect a defiant stance amid the turmoil.
Dealer’s Frontman Shares Thoughts on the Controversy
Holmes, the frontman of Dealer, also weighed in on the controversy with a public statement, arguing that “This scene is comprised of deeply insecure individuals who seem enamored with the idea of hypocrisy, quick to point fingers while failing to reflect on themselves.”
In his remarks, Holmes referenced his former band Alpha Wolf, highlighting that bassist Josh Arnold had previously labeled the America’s Rejects tour as a “rapist abuser tour” on his social media platforms. “AW has consistently weaponized these allegations against me since Dealer’s formation in 2018. I had hoped they did this out of genuine concern, believing in something deeply, despite the falsehoods,” Holmes concluded in his statement.
