As previously reported, Manowar were supposed to perform a headlining set at Hellfest in Clisson, France on June 21, but the performance got pulled at the last minute. The group have now commented on the situation once again saying the show “was NOT cancelled by the band.”
Here’s Manowar’s new statement:
“Regarding Hellfest cancellation
Our performance at Hellfest scheduled for June 21, 2019 was NOT cancelled by the band; it was cancelled by the Hellfest organizers in their announcement that appeared on their websites.
In the days prior to Hellfest, Switzerland, Greece, and Bulgaria all witnessed our massive production that brought The Kingdom Of Steel to life. We brought it to Hellfest because we came to play.
We fought to give our fans the performance we promised last year at Hellfest, but we will not be pushed around by the Hellfest promoters who chose not to honor their contractual obligations and think they can do wrong to us and to our fans.
Those of you who have requested information regarding ticket refunds should contact the outlet where you purchased your ticket or the Hellfest organizers directly, as they are responsible.
We are currently seeking every legal remedy available to us by law.”
