The Brazilian edition of the Thrash Of The Titans festival, which was set to take place on April 20th at Estacionamento do Anhembi in São Paulo, has been cancelled and is unlikely to be rescheduled, according to several informed sources. Although no official announcement has yet been made, it appears that poor organization is largely to blame for the cancellation, with many of the basic details having remained sketchy nearly a month prior to the originally scheduled concert date.

São Paulo's Thrash Of The Titans was being billed as a benefit event that would raise funds for Brazilian hospitals for the treatment of cancer diseases, and was set to include appearances by such acts as ANTHRAX, TESTAMENT, MACHINE HEAD, DEATH ANGEL, and EXODUS, among others.
 
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


It can't be true !!!! :cry: :cry:

NO, please!!!

I was dreaming about that show... But...

...

...

:cry:

That was too good to be true...
 
Well, I've got an e-mail from the official promoters of the festival saying that it wasn't cancelled, but postponed to june.
The reason is that they've got problems with the place where the festival would take place.
Well, I hope it's true and this festival happens... it would be a dream coming true...

Here follows the original letter, in portuguese, for those who can read...

O CANCELAMENTO DO SHOW É UM GRANDE BOATO.
BOATO QUE NÓS DA OPTIONS ENTENDEMOS, PELO MOTIVO DA "MÁ" DIVULGAÇÃO.
O QUE ACONTECE É QUE NÓS ADIAMOS O EVENTO PARA JUNHO,
PELO SIMPLES MOTIVO : O ANHEMBI NÃO RESPONDEU NOSSA
SOLICITAÇÃO PARA A DATA PREVISTA ATÉ O MOMENTO, E NÃO
TEMOS MAIS TEMPO PARA ESPERAR.
PEDIMOS A SUA COLABORAÇÃO DE REPASSAR ESSA MENSAGEM PARA AS FONTES QUE VOCÊ CITOU.

AGRADECEMOS DESDE JÁ
