If the UK dates get confirmed, I may see them in Sheffield.

Count me in for that Islington date!

 

[uhhhhmmmm4]

Only two US dates?

The Band have now announced on their Facebook Page that these shows aren't happening, with these words:

"FYI - the official confirmed Primal Fear shows are posted on the official website. Sorry for the fans in the UK, but we've never announced a UK tour from our side and for a reason. We will not support the games of agencies. Cheers!"

When several people asked why this announcement from the band didn't come sooner, their response was:

"Be patient, we would be proud to play this tour as the band was on the road for 6 months now! You should complain somewhere else, as always in this business. The band b/w the musicians are NOT responsible for this situation!"

I'm sorry but am I missing something? Yes I can believe that they were never involved with the announcement and agreement to play these dates, but I can't believe that they didn't know about the announcement of the dates sooner, bearing in mind some people will have already booked Tickets and Accommodation etc.

I feel to see how the Band are totally blameless in this.

WHY?!

That sucks I reaaaaally wanted to see them

Aye it's a massive shame and obviously I appreciate that it must be a frustrating situation for them.

I put the questions I mentioned in my last post to the Band and got this response promptly:

"The band never gave the permission to advertise these dates or to launch the pre ticket sales! We were just fooled again - another lesson learned!"

I guess we just have to accept it's an unfortunate, unwanted situation for both the Band and the fans and move on. Would love to see them live one day.

Another story that really doesn't say much about the quality of bookers/promotors over here.....and I've experienced a few things over the years as you can imagine
