In a statement from Dave Briggs, the band have confirmed that Northern Irish pagan metal outfit WAYLANDER will not be performing at this years Heathen Crusade Festival which is scheduled to take place later this year in St Paul, MN. The band had refused to make a public announcement about their participation until certain terms of the agreement between the band and festival promoters were met. The festival organisers made a premature announcement that Waylander would be headlining, however the terms were yet to be met. The band have gave ample time for the festival promoters to meet the terms but it's came to a point were discussions have now ended and the band have now been forced to make a public statement that they will not be performing at Heathen Crusade.

"It is with great regret that we are forced to announce that Waylander will not be playing the Heathen Crusade Festival. The Heathen Crusade promoters have repeatedly promised but never provided us any funds to arrange transport to the USA. Although we are available, and nothing would make us happier than to play for some of our American fans, Heathen Crusades inability to meet the terms that they had agreed to makes it impossible for us. We make this announcement now so that fans are aware of the situation and do not make any plans around the assumption that we are playing. We had refused to confirm that we were playing until it was certain, but Heathen Crusade announced it very prematurely. We can only say that we are very sorry to any fans who were looking forward to seeing us live, and that we are as disappointed as you are."
