BW&BK; 6-Pack Weekend organizers have announced the cancellation of the Friday, October 13th show that was dubbed the Night Of Power and was set to feature headliners HELLOWEEN before they backed out of their previously scheduled North American tour. The following is a statement from BW&BK; President/CEO "Metal" Tim Henderson:

"Words can't express how disappointed we are at having to cancel the first night of the BW&BK; 6-Pack Weekend IV that was scheduled to take place on October 13th, 2006 at the Medley in Montreal, QC. Ticket refunds will be honored via TicketPro (for purchases made at TicketPro outlets) and Medley (for purchases made elsewhere) as of September 11, 2006. We will also honor the Friday night ticket on Saturday (October 14th) - the Night Of Extreme Metal featuring TESTAMENT, BRUTAL TRUTH, DISMEMBER, GRAVE and two other acts tba.

Both Stephan Mellul (BCI President) and myself have been desperately working to try to fill up a bill, but we've run into numerous obstacles such as competing festivals (Live N' Loud festivals in South America and Loud Park in Japan on the same weekend) that have many of the possible key replacement bands booked already, and other potential acts currently in the studio/busy. Trust me, we did NOT want to travel down this path as hundreds of tickets had been sold so far for the Night Of Power. Despite Helloween's claims of "economical and routing" issues, we tried at great lengths to renegotiate with them, as to be left in the cold with such short notice to find a replacement was a serious blow. And the fact that they cancelled the show that coincides with the 100th Anniversary of BW&BK; Magazine adds more to our frustration and displeasure. But don't fret, our Night Of Extreme Metal is on full speed ahead with the following 'committed acts': TESTAMENT, BRUTAL TRUTH, DISMEMBER, GRAVE and two more bands to be announced.

Once again, we deeply apologize for the cancellation."

Tickets are still on sale now for the the Night Of Extreme Metal (Saturday, October 14th) at TicketPro.ca for $34.99 CDN (plus applicable taxes). For more information visit the official website for the BW&BK; 6-Pack Weekend IV - Back For More at this location.
