BLACKGUARD Replaces TURISAS At ProgPower USA
July 6, 2010, 14 years ago
Finnish battle metallers TURISAS have cancelled their appearance at ProgPower USA which is scheduled for September 10th - 11th in Atlanta, GA. According to organizer Glenn Harveston on the Ultimate Metal Forum: "I emailed Turisas’s booking agent early this morning to notify him that I would be sending his deposit now (a full month ahead of the contractual obligation date). His reply: 'Sorry, they aren’t coming. Their album was pushed back so they aren’t coming over till next year.'
As for an official statement Harveston added: "I was told it would come today. Nothing arrived. I emailed twice more during the day asking and did not receive a reply. I have no idea if one is coming tomorrow or not. I’m in the dark just like everyone else."
Montreal's BLACKGUARD has been confirmed as the replacement.
The following schedule for the 11th edition of North America’s premier progressive and power metal festival is set:
Mid-Week Mayhem Party - Wednesday, September 8th: ROSS THE BOSS (with special guest Scott Columbus): A Night of MANOWAR Classics, VANGOUGH, SEVEN KINGDOMS.
