VANDEN PLAS Explain ProgPower Cancellation
October 4, 2007, 16 years ago
As reported earlier today, German progsters VANDEN PLAS had to cancel their ProgPower appearance (for a second time, the first being in the wake of the 9-11 highjackings). The band has issued the following statement/explanation:
"Dear Fans and people who wanted to see us play at PP 2007!We feel deeply sorry about what happened and that we couldn't make it this year. Unfortunately we couldn't pass the immigration control when we arrived in Detroit on Wednesday October 3rd.
The immigration service told us that we had the wrong papers. We don't understand the problem because we did it in the regular way. They were sending us back home after six hours of questioning. We had no chance to go to Atlanta.
Now that we're back home after 40 hours of non-stop travel we are sad and empty to face this disappointing situation.
We've been really looking forward to PP VIII for such a long time. Nevertheless we wish you a great festival in our absence with all the other great bands."
