UK Metalfest show canceled
Unfortunately Evergrey have been forced to cancel the show tonight in Dudley at Metalfest UK. Here’s the explanation of the situation straight from the band who are still on the European tour:
“Since the concert promoter failed to fulfill his agreements including paying us the money this makes it impossible for us to play the Metalfest. We are on tour in Croatia at the moment and we would also have additional costs to get ourselves to England and we just received a SMS message from the promoter where it said he won’t be able to pay us.
This means that we as a band would lose even more money since we will have overweight for luggage and having to rent vans for airports. The promoter apologized to us in a new SMS – BUT nothing and noone are more sad than us for having to betray our UK fans… IF there are any fans that want to come to any of our other shows we will help you out with tickets to the show and maybe even arrange a meet and greet, all to ease your losses maybe a bit. Those of you who can do that can e-mail us at evergreyfans@gmail.com for more details. Once again Evergrey are sending their apologies but it’s out of our hands.
This concert promoter (MARK OWEN) had hired the club for the festival weekend and is solely responsible for what happened – the club JBS Dudley has nothing to do with the cancellation and we would be happy to play at JBS Dudley one day.”

Serbian show canceled due to a venue problem
The Serbian show is cancelled due to a venue problem (i.e.: doublebooking). The Serbian promoter Terra Nostra and the Evergrey camp have been trying to find a solution by moving dates, searching for new venues but nothing has fallen into our favour. Nobody’s more than the disappointed than the band who have always been very impressed by support of the Serbian fans and we hope to be back real soon.
Here is the promoter’s explanation:
Evergrey – Otkazan
Sa zaljenjem Vas moramo obavestiti da se zakazani koncert grupe Evergrey ovog septembra u SKC-u, ipak nece odrzati. Kako trenutne stvari u Beogradu stoje, jedini adekvatan prostor za odrzavanje ovakvog koncerta, mala sala SKC-a (Living Room), je vec iznajmljena za trazeni datum, a alternativu nismo nasli iz raznih razloga (neki prostori ne zadovoljavaju standarde koje bend trazi, a neki su preskupi za koncert ovakvog tipa). Buduci da vec duze od mesec dana trazimo resenje, a nismo ga nasli, prinudjeni smo da u dogovoru sa bendom ipak ne organizujemo koncert. Bilo kakav kompromis bi nesumnjivo doneo stetu ili bendu, ili fanovima ili organizatorima, a kako svi znamo da je Evergrey u organizaciji Terra Nostre odrzao vec 2 sjajna koncerta u Beogradu, nema smisla kvariti utisak, vec cemo u interesu svih radije sacekati sledecu priliku da ovaj sjajni bend ponovo poseti nasu prestonicu.
Kako problem sa prostorom vec odavno postoji, karte nisu ni pustene u prodaju, dok se sve ne razresi, tako da sa tim nema nikakvih problema. Molimo sve za razumevanje, uz veliko izvinjenje. Zaista ne mozemo protiv trenutnog stanja u zemlji, a to je cinjenica da za koncerte malih metal bendova ne postoji nista iole adekvatno osim Living Room-a, i ako je taj prostor zauzet, sve pada u vodu.
Pozdrav,
Terra Nostra Tim
