Digital Spy has issued the following report from Oli Simpson:
BACKSTREET BOYS have caused outcry among heavy metal fans in India after being announced ahead of IRON MAIDEN as headliner for the upcoming Rock In India Festival.
The alternative music event was the first of its kind in India when it opened in 2008, with MEGADETH and MACHINE HEAD topping the bill. Iron Maiden closed the bash in 2009.
However, festival bosses have attracted widespread criticism for this year's lineup, which has largely ditched metal bands in favour of more mainstream acts such as The Backstreet Boys and Richard Marx.
