OPETH Forced To Cancel Spain's Lorca Rock Festival
June 18, 2008, 16 years ago
Due to the fact that the 2008 edition of Portugal's Lagoa Burning Live has been postponed due to vandalism at the festival site, OPETH have been forced to cancel Spain's Lorca Rock Festival "due to finances, but Opeth will return to Spain in the near future," says the band in an update.
Earlier today, Opeth mainman Mikael Åkerfeldt commented on the chart success of their new album, Watershed: "It's going well! We got in the fucking charts….! Number 1 in Finland! What the hell??? Number 23 on Billboard?? Sick! I mean, I thought I wouldn't be affected by great chart positions like that but I can't help but to feel it's kinda cool! For an album like Watershed I think it's pretty insane it's in any charts at all. Still very pleased with this album and we'll start playing more songs from it soon."
