Primal Fear European Tour cancelled

[Bloodstock]

It is with regret that Primal Fear have announced the cancellation of their upcoming European tour. This is because they have accepted the support for the Iced Earth tour scheduled to take place in Europe at the same time. This means the shows scheduled for 5th March in London and 6th March in Wolverhampton are now off.

All tickets purchased through the Bloodstock website will be refunded within the next few days.

Sincere apologies to all who were going to go, still it should make the Iced Earth show on 21st March in London pretty good!

Blimey! Notified via 3 different media within an hour (phone, email and message board). Anyone would think I've been singled out for special treatment

The question then becomes, though, what about supports? Iced Earth have already announced Thunderstone, and now with PF added... will we see a 5 band bill with Brainstorm and Rage Of Creation as well? I mean, I can always hope, but I somehow think it unlikely, as it wouldn't be economically viable (not that touring on that scale is anyway, but it'd make it even worse).

Bloody hell me and dream thief was gonna go to that!

Shouldn't Iced Earth be supporting Primal Fear?

Primal Fear are by far the better live band and Iced Earth are on a decline now that Matt has left.

I hope I can get a refund at the hotel I booked into.

This will be Iced Earth , Primal Fear and Thunderstone but most definately no Brainstorm who are well pissed wtih the Tour being cancelled . How about getting them to Bloodstock instead !

 

[Volcane]

Good shout Wolfhoff...

Brainstorm for BS04 - Soul Temptation is a great album

 

[Eagle]

Or if they can't do Bloodstock then could the Wolverhampton gig go ahead without Primal Fear?! Or could another appropriate headlining band be brought in, such as Gamma Ray or Blind Guardian?!

 

[Dream Thief]

Nice call there Eagle....

Gamma Ray or Blind Guardian would make ideal headliners for such a gig.

There may still be hope!!

This is terrible news indeed. I was looking forward to this so much.

This is bad news indeed i was looking forward to this gig i will see get to see Primal Fear surpporting Iced Earth but sadly not Brainstorm and Rob Rock i hope at least one of them make an apperance at bloodstock, or as Eagle says bring in another headline for the Wolverhampton gig and if that fails what reprocusions will that have on metal gigs outside London? as it was already tough to find a venue willing to take the risk
