Fields Of The Nephilim Comments On Eurorock Situation

Fields Of The Nephilim's management just posted the following message online about the band cancelling its Eurorock appearance last minute:

"For those that are curious / disappointed, here's what went down at EuroRock. We travelled to the show from England having hired buses / drivers etc. during our journey we were in constant contact with festival production and nothing untoward was mentioned (although by this time they were fully aware of the situation).

"Upon arrival at the festival site we were informed that there was a 'situation.' This turned out to be more than just a situation for us.... The equipment they had booked for us in order to play was not on site, because the festival organizers had failed to pay for it. None of our technical requirements had been met. No catering (the guys had been on the road for 10 hours).

"To make matters even worse we were also told that we would not be paid. We had no alternative but to retreat to the hotel and accept that due to matters beyond our control we were prevented from delivering the show. We sincerely apologize to the many fans who were disappointed, we all feel exactly the same."

The organizers of the festival posted several times about lineup changes and problems during the festival on Facebook, capped by this comment: "Thanks to all the volunteers, crew, catering, security, the police, first aid team, and all those we forget now for getting this to a good end. A BIG thank you to the bands for their understanding, but most of all a HUGE THANK YOU to you, the festival goer, who made the event an enjoyable one despite the circumstances."
