AMON AMARTH Explain 18+ Restriction On Aussie Shows
October 21, 2009, 14 years ago
Sweden's AMON AMARTH have issued the following tour news:
"A lot of people have asked us why our shows scheduled in Australia are all 18+.Unfortunately this is beyond our control and we too are just as disappointed by it. The reason behind it has to do with Australia's strict alcohol bylaws. We'd love to be able to include an all ages show but the tight schedule and long travels just make that impossible.
There's also been questions why we not include more cities.
We'd perform in every city in Australia, in every country for that matter, but please bear in mind that our shows are arranged through a booking agency. These are the shows the promoter has set up for us for this time in Australia. Hopefully we'll be able to perform in more cities next time."
