MESHUGGAH: CANCELS OUT OF MHM Fest in Ukraine
Swedish progressive extreme metal warriors MESHUGGAH have canceled out of the bands previously scheduled appearance MHM FEST set to take place 5-6-7 of August, 2011 Entertainement complex "Solnyshko", Ukraine 9th kilometre of the Eupatorija-Simferopol road.
FROM MESHUGGAH: Meshuggah will NOT be performing at the MHM Festival in Simferipol early August 2011, opposed to what has all been announced by the festival.
To keep a long story short: there were long gone discussions about performing at MHM 2011 and Meshuggah really wanted to make this appearance happen, as this would have been the band's first ever performance in Ukraine. However, unfortunately the promoter did not keep any part of the initial agreement, such as arranging the necessary logistics for bringing the band to Ukraine etc, and eventually also made himself unavailable for further discussions.
Meshuggah regret if anyone bought tickets to this festival believing they would see Meshuggah perform on stage. Please keep in mind to always check Meshuggah's website/facebook/Myspace, as this is where all 100% confirmed appearances will be announced. The MHM festival was due to above mentioned reasons never announced on these sites and should clearly by agreement not have been announced by the festival either until they had fulfilled their contractual commitments, which never happened.
FROM MHM FEST PROMOTERS: Due to the fact, that the festival sponsor — Global Promotion agency — for the time being is not able to fulfill all its financial obligation, we are forced to announce the cancelleation of Meshuggah show (the official management announcement will be soon available at the band's site).
The good news:
the festival will take place at its historical location — EC " Solnyshko" (between Saki and Evpatorija);
the shows of KATAKLYSM (07.08.2011) and VOMITORY (05.08.2011) will take place at the respective dates.
We tender our apologies to Meshuggah fans and to those who booked accommodations and Myrnyj.
We do everything to make this festival and it WILL BE (without Global Promotion).
We believe in YOU, out great fans, because MHM festival is done only for you!
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
