Legacy Of The Beast Post-Pandemic Leg

I think we are splitting hairs here, but OK.

You're right, the US have never started a war.... oh wait...

Well, if you want to count the American Civil War, I guess....

Gojira have canceled their concerts until 9 February 2022, so apparently they plan to play in Germany at the end of February.

They are all probably vaccinated though.

Gojira postponed but interestingly not to 2023 but to 06 July 2022.

The UK shows have been postponed to 2023 though.

 

[Spaldy]

Called it.

It's interesting how they stress that it was "the promoters" who cancelled.

 

[GhostofCain]

The choice of words is interesting to say the least...

In the meantime, no more covid restrictions for concert and festivals in Hungary and Austria.
How many countries are left in Europe with restrictions?

"Must. Not. Alienate. Any. Fans."

Situation. Call it what it is. A war. An invasion. Man, Maiden is sinking in my eyes these days. If they wanted to be frank, they would have told their social media person just to be that. So it is a Harris or Rod decision in the end I think, to mince words.

Who else?

 

[Yax]

Who else?

"We support the promotors decision to...." Would have been a much more clear way to go about it, if they did. It's obvious Maiden had no intention of cancelling Moscow themselves at this point.

While not knowing exactly how all of this works, it seems just right that it's the promoters decision at the end of it all.

It's more disappointing that they call it a situation, that's a understatement

It's flabbergasting.

The band could cancel themselves and claim force majure at this point. Or visibly support Live Nation's decision to exit Russia.

It's flabbergasting.

Reading it again, the last sentence is the weird one.

Our priority is, and will always be, the safety of our fans.

Safety of fans is nice, but this situation is bigger than that.

I mean, the message was specifically about their concerts being cancelled. Their could've been some more "our hearts go out to..." etc, but it's just a PR message, nothing more nothing less.

Prudential Center in Newark, NJ (site of IM's October 21, 2022 show) just lifted their vaccine & mask mandates. I expect to see this happening at a lot more venues in the near future.

For the artists sake I hope so. I know they did affect tix for Bruce’s show in Atlanta and ticket sales for Priest have been looking dismal.

Especially for the unvaccinated ones!

Right, but it's Judas Priest in 2022. That's a ballsy choice for a venue.
