Two weeks ago Meat told me he planned to do 12 shows in August in the USA. Last year he was planning to do 20-25 summer shows, but as we know the album release was delayed, and his 2015 plans have changed.
When I asked him about the first one that came up (Riveredge) he laughed and said the first he'd heard of it was when he saw it on the internet, but said he was doing 12 shows in August and assumed it would be one of these .. he said he didn't know what dates and venues had been agreed for this August outing.
It may be that he has recently had to take a decision not to do the August run .. on the other hand it is also possible that the venues who have been advertising shows were going on last year's plan, and the 12 in August are still going ahead but to a different schedule.
Riveredge saying that the 2015 tour has been cancelled may simply be that last year's schedule which included them has been cancelled, and that the promoters have had to book 12 shows which may not be able to include all the August dates/venues on that previous plan.
As Tony implies .. best to wait until Meat himself confirms there will be shows in August
