FROM MARYLAND DEATH FEST 2024 PROMOTERS:
MDF 2024 lineup update & set times!
Firstly, we regret to inform you that Carpathian Forest have been forced to cancel due to lingering visa issues. We've been having good luck with other bands receiving visa approvals, but Carpathian Forest was not the beneficiary of such luck. In all our years of doing this, this if the first time we've received an outright denial on a visa petition, and this was after responding appropriately to the "Request for Evidence" that we received in late February. We ended up filing an appeal - and paying an additional fee to do so - but we have not received an update on the appeal in over a month. Due to the unresponsiveness by the USCIS and no longer having time to complete the visa process even if the appeal is successful, it was mutually agreed between MDF and band that we need to address the cancellation now.
Despite the short notice, MAYHEM have confirmed and will fill the vacant slot on Sunday, May 26th.
Tickets for Market Place/Power Plant are still available here:
