Terrorizer will not be playing now, but don't worry, we have a back-up plan which includes 2 headlining quality bands that are nearly confirmed.
Want the explanation? We'll be glad to give you one.
This is a very, very messy situation and we still can't believe how out of hand it's gotten. In the 4 years of organizing festivals, we've never had to experience such unprofessionalism as we have with the agency which we dealt with for Terrorizer. Deadlines and promises were never met, but we were patient the entire time. We were promised clearance to announce Terrorizer on Monday, then were asked to wait until Tuesday to announce it. Well it was announced and suddenly today we received emails from the agency demanding that we take it off the web site and that the deal was never confirmed, despite the fact that we were given a 100% confirmation from the agency that it would happen. A whole lot of money was on the table from our side for this deal, we were patient the whole time, and now we are being called assholes, meatheads, dickheads and whatever else just for asking why it's our problem that the agency fucked everything up. Each time I called the agency, they hung up on me immediately and clearly could not talk to me like a man. So whatever, we'd like to put this shit behind us and move on. I'm taking down the AA fest site for a very short time, and then we'll re-launch it with 2 headlining quality bands and the rest of the billing. We think you won't be disappointed with what will come instead of this Terrorizer disaster.
The bright side is that tickets have not yet gone on sale and this was only announced a few days ago.
