EVERGREY - Drop Off Israel's METALIST FESTIVAL |
|
|
Swedish progressive dark metallers EVERGREY have cancelled their appearance
at the second annual Metalist Festival, set to be held August 26, 2004 at
the Hangar 11 venue in Tel-aviv, Israel. The festival organizer, Oron Tanami
of Metalist Productions, has sent the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET
regarding EVERGREY's decision to withdraw from the event:
EVERGREY, who were just about to to play the Metalist Festival in Israel, didnt take the flight that was scheduled for them [claiming] that they can't fly back to Sweden on the night between the 28-29 of August. However, the flights' itinerary has been sent to the band twice by fax and it even was confirmed be an e-mail. The evening before the [scheduled] flight [from Sweden], Motor.se, the management of the band, confirmed that everything [was] O.K and few hours later we realized that they didnt take the flight! Metalist Productions is the biggest metal productions company in Israel and having a wide experience with dozens of international artists and we have never experienced such a surprising cancellation from any band. The thousands of people you [EVERGREY] have just dissapointed are one of the most amazing crowds in the world. Thousands of people are expected to take part on this year's Metalist Festival and a cancelling band can have nothing but to lose the chance to be a part of it." EVERGREY have yet to comment on the cancellation. | ||
