April 30, 2015, 9 years ago
DragonForce were caught up in the recent civil unrest in Baltimore on Monday evening (April 27th) as they warmed up to hit the stage on the first show of the North American leg of their Maximum Overload World Tour. The Soundstage in Baltimore where the ‘Force was meant to be playing with US band Kamelot was two blocks away from the rioting, but the violence was getting ever closer.
Guitarist Herman Li said: “We thought it was a little weird that all the local shops were closed, in fact the only place open was the venue with a massive queue of fans still trying to get in. As we were warming up ready to go onstage we heard a State of Emergency was declared and the show immediately postponed due to the safety of the fans.”
The show has been rescheduled for today, Thursday, April 30th, with doors opening early at 6 PM and the end of the show being 10 PM due to the citywide curfew imposed by the authorities for the entire week. All tickets purchased for the original show are valid.
