ALICE COOPER - Tampere, Finland Date Cancelled On "Religious Grounds"?
August 15, 2009, 15 years ago
According to ALICE COOPER fan-site Sick Things UK, reports are coming in that the December 11th show in Tampare, Finland has been cancelled on religious grounds. This is confirmed by Alice's management. A Finnish fan reports: "Just thought you wanted to know that today we are havin' a small 'scandal' here in Finland about Alice's gig in Tampere. There has been speculation why the show is cancelled but the latest (and probably correct) news says that the president of Tampere Arena (gig venue) has cancelled the rent deal of the place appealing to 'Christian values' of the company (who rent the place). So they're saying Alice's show includes things that represent suspicious values in comparison to their Christian values. The promoter is trying to find a new place for the show... maybe in Espoo."
