Bogus French Festival

Jun 21, 2001 at 10:20 PM by deathbringer (Source: Cradle of Filth).

It seems there's some dishonest festival promoters in France. Here's the scoop from the Cradle of Filth mailing list:

A so called festival has been said to take place this summer in France on the 20,21, & 22 of July. The festival claims to have Cradle of Filth and Anathema doing the festival. The band are definitely not doing this festival and nor are Anathema. We know nothing about it. Do not under any circumstances buy tickets for this, as it is not happening. And in fact the police will be contacting the guy behind this as he is attempting to gain money under false pretences. Of course Cradle of Filth cannot be doing it as they are on North American tour at that point.
