The 2013 STELLA NATURA: "The Light of Ancestral Fires II" FESTIVAL will be ESOTERIC  and STARGAZER's first U.S. appearances.  

FROM STELLA NATURA 2013 PROMOTERS:
 As your curator and organizer I am completely at a crushed by the following news: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that Wardruna will not be playing at Stella Natura this year. We know some of you might be disappointed, but I promise that no one is as disappointed as I am right now—As Stella Natura, I have been working tirelessly since 2009 to bring Wardruna out for our event. We knew there may have been problems with Gaahl, but none of us expected USCIS to deny the rest of the visas so close to their travel date. 

With more than 40 other amazing musical acts, we are confident that Stella Natura will still be a unique and worthwhile event. For those of you coming just to see Wardruna, we will honor refunds for the Sunday single day passes only. Thank you for your understanding and support! We will see you in the forest!

As we mentioned earlier, we will honor refunds to people holding a Sunday day pass (only). If you do not want to attend (and we hope you still do!) simply email us your ticket info and a cancellation request and we will cross your name off the list and refund your money next week. REFUND REQUESTS NEED TO BE MADE PRIOR TO 5PM SATURDAY EVENING IN ORDER TO BE FULFILLED. 
Thanks for your understanding!

Please see the prepared statement from the band below:

It is great with great disappointment that I inform you that we are forced to cancel our performance at Stella Natura. Our application for P-3 work-visa which is needed in order to play in the US was not approved on the basis of Wardruna not qualifying as a 'culturally unique band'.
We are all terribly sorry for this and I can only apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and assure you that we will continue to work on performing in the US as well
