Escape the Fate, which was previously announced as the co-headliner of the annual charity Take Action! Tour is no longer scheduled to participate in the tour. No explanation has been given as the reason for Escape the Fate's cancellation except for this brief message the band posted in a myspace bulletin," Yes, the tour is canceled. NO WE DID NOT BREAK UP. Please send your love to Hawthorne (referring to the recent death of Hawthorne Heights band member Casey Calvert)." However, From First to Last, is set to support headliner Everytime I Die, according to a recent press release.

Also, Sub City Records announced that the recipient of the charity donation accumulated from this year's Take Action! Tour is the non-profit group Do Something.
