For immediate release:

Due to logistical and technical problems that could not
be resolved in time, the spring 2010 Jon Oliva's Pain "FESTIVAL" Live DVD tour will be postponed until October, 2010. The DVD concert was scheduled to be filmed at the 013 in Tilburg, Holland on March 19th. And although the date will change to October, the DVD concert will be held at the 013!

JOP's summer Euro Festival Tour continues to move forward with
Bang Your Head and Graspop festivals already confirmed.

From JOP Drummer Christopher Kinder:

"Having just finished the recording of our new CD "FESTIVAL", we simply
do not have enough time to finalize the seemingly endless amount of
details needed to make the DVD concert happen in such a short time.
Trying to plan for such a big production here in the U.S. for a show in
Europe makes it even harder. AFM, The 013,and Roax Films had
everything ready to go, but with stage, video production, lighting and
pyro design's still unresolved...we have no choice but to move this show
and the tour until October when we can be sure that everything is just right.

Our sincere apologies to the fans the promoters and everyone involved.
You and your hard earned money deserve the best JOP can possibly
offer and it's better to wait a few more months to insure that this show
is just that. A live-DVD is very expensive to produce, and we only get 1 shot at it!"

JOP's U.S. CD release concert has been moved to Saturday, April 24th
at Bourbon Street Nightclub- New Port Richey
, Florida prior to their
appearance on the TRITON POWER CRUISE (April 30-May 3). JOP is finalizing May tour dates for Brazil/South America.

JOP will release their new CD "FESTIVAL" worldwide on February 19th
via AFM Records.

That sucks Chris - but you are right - measure twice, cut once! Only one shot for a live DVD... want no mistakes, especially cues when pyro is involved...
See you guys in April ! ;o)
 
Like Wayne said - measure twice - cut once. We can wait (impatiently) for the finished product. Hey, that just allows more time to work even more songs into the set, throw in the PP & a Night with Jon Oliva stuff as bonus bonus stuff :)

Thanks for the heads up about the date change on the FL show - hadn't bought a ticket yet but had talked with airlines about possibly using some of my frequent flier miles to get there - so definitely happy to have more time to work on that (also it won't be as close to spring break so should be more seats available).

Best news I saw was it looks like the CD is ready to roll out on schedule - so that is great. One of the things I am most looking forward to in 2010.

Cheers
