As previously posted, Iced Earth Forced To Cancel Bangalore Open Air Festival Appearance.The Bangalore Open Air Festival team have released the following announcement: “It looks like the Indian government has once again decided to play spoilsport. We are extremely disappointed to announce that the mighty Iced Earth will not be performing at the Bangalore Open Air on June 16th 2012 due to the denial of their visas by the Indian Embassy. As to why the visas have been denied, well there has been no explanation forthcoming unfortunately.

Despite this setback the show will go on as scheduled and to soften the blow we have roped in the incredible folk metal maestros Suidakra to take Iced Earth’s place at Bangalore Open Air.

We humbly request all Indian metalheads to show up in force at Bangalore Open Air and stand together as one. The system may try and break us but we will not be defeated.

We sincerely thank you all for your patience and understanding and we hope to see each and every one you at the festival with your fists raised high.

In metal we trust.“

And also the organisers of the Bangalore Open Air Festival have released the following appeal to fans throught their Facebook page, following the news that Iced Earth had their visas declined and therefore cannot play the festival. ” Dear Metal brotherhood!!!

I think it is high time we raise our voice against the injustice that the live music industry is facing today in India!

Firstly, a ban on live events at palace grounds is a major setback to the ever supporting music fanatics and is causing a lot of inconvenience to loyal fans
As though this is not bad enough, the Indian embassy is on a rampage in declining visas to immensely talented musicians and artists for whom you guys have been eagerly waiting for.

We seek your support in voicing a collective pledge against the concerned authorities. A shout out to all fans/organisers and mainly music lovers, we need your support in participating in a 8,000+ signature campaign which will be at the B.O.A arena for your valuable pledge. This petition is made by BOA Team and you are the ones to get us what we need to fight further.

All metal heads from all corners of INDIA , we want you all to start your march towards this campaign and support us to bring this change.
Let’s roar for our music and get back what is being taken away from us. . Fight for music ,fight for the future.

UP THE METAL \m/ “
