XANDRIA Comment On Cancelled Dubai Date
November 17, 2009, 15 years ago
German goth metallers XANDRIA have issued the following update:
"As we have read in several e-mails, there is some confusion concerning the circumstances that lead to the cancellation of our show at the Friday 13th Festival in Dubai, last weekend.This is the situation that we experienced that night: We were supposed to perform at midnight as the last band of the evening. Once we got to the festival site at 9 PM, we were informed that there was already a delay in the time schedule. To make a long story short: Eventually we were supposed to perform at 2 AM and we were just preparing for the show when our sound engineer came backstage to tell us that the police just stopped the festival because of noise disturbance.
We were not aware of the fact that there had been no proper explanation to the audience!!!
We feel very sorry for everyone who was looking forward to our show - we know from your emails that some of you have travelled long distances to the festival just to see Xandria!
And we also feel sorry for our collegues of RICO BLANCO, who had to stop their show earlier than planned.
We will be back as soon as possible to perform for you and hope that we will meet again without any of the unlucky incidents that the date of Friday the 13th obviously still has to offer..."
