Arch Enemy – Explanation given for yesterday’s no-show at Ozzfest
As we first reported here yesterday, ARCH ENEMY missed their performance at Ozzfest yesterday in Camden, NJ at the Tweeter Center. The reason they did not perform is because their bus broke down. Here’s are two official statements from the band’s website, the first one from the band’s management and the second one from the band’s webmaster:
[Both dated July 19]
“It’s been a bad day today – in the early hours of Tuesday morning as the band were heading back to New Jersey from a successful off-day show in Burlington, VT, the bus broke down with transmission trouble. This had to get fixed properly which took some hours. Meantime, all efforts to get the band to the site on time to play their 2nd stage slot failed as there was just no way the distance could be covered in time, not even by plane.
At the time of writing this the band are heading to the site to try and complete their signing and promotion commitments and hopefully they will at least be able to meet some of the fans who missed seeing them play today.
Sincere apologies to all the fans at Camden NJ who turned up today hoping to see ARCH ENEMY. “
“As a further update we can now confirm that the band will not make the Ozzfest at New Jersey at all today ………..the bus that was fixed has now expired completely over 100 miles from the site!
To all the fans a huge sorry!”
