"Bullet for my valentine" just cancelled a few hours ago as well as "red jump suite apparatus" for the coke zero fest.
Apparently BVMV is busy with an album that must be presented to the record label by next week.

That's really really crap, I would've been so pissed if I bought a ticket.
Spyke
Ouch! BFMV would have been the only reason I would vaguely consider spending that sort of money on tickets... RJA is okaaaay, but would have been nice to see.
Guess I'm staying away until they bring real bands to SA. (Oasis is circling the drain IMHO)

Eina!!!!! There's going to be a lot of angry young men now....

Coke Fest / Coke Zero fest have completely lost me as a punter, same thing happens every year. They get a few big names on in the beginning, and then at last minute one or two of these big names have some sort of emergency or somesuch and can't come. Surely there must be some sort of contract written up? I'm not too sure of how these things work, but I can't see how this could happen two years in a row. Do they start advertising the list of acts before actually signing a contract with them?
Since G&R didn't pitch last year they pissed me off so much I didn't bother to look at the set list this year.

That's a big ouch, and the venues changed a few weeks back not? Im sure i heard that on the radio.... Sounds like poor organising to me.
I went to the first one, Collective Soul, Seether, Mettalica. That was awesome, missed the Staind one ☹
Couldn't be bothered with what they have brought in since...

Went to the first 2.
Bands at first one ROCKED! Dehydration SUCKED!
Bands at second one were mediocre (nice day out with friends, but not so much there for the bands) but at least there was plenty food and drink. Nandos stall was awesome ? (I'm a Nandos freak. LOVE the stuff)
Staind was cool in 2nd concert. And 3 Doors Down was nice. But ja, nothing explosive. And that's what they need. A band that sends the crowd going nuts.

I wonder when Coke is going to realize that they are just throwing money in the water with these festivals.
Why don't they just bring down 2 great bands and let the rest of the slots be filled with SA Bands, we have enough of them!

Get Dan Patlansky to play at Zero Fest ? Wonderful entertainer!!
Dirk
It's starting to become a regular thing where bands pull out at the last minute. Was it guns n roses that pulled out last year?
Spyke
Maybe BFMV and RJA realized that SA is where bands come to die and decided not to risk it - they still have some life in them! ?

That was 2 years ago ...
Last year no-one pulled out ... well .. at least not from performing ..hehe. I got to see Muse live ... which was worth the whole admission alone.

Come on guys it's not Big Concerts fault that certain "Artists" Ego's are bigger than their professionalism. Apparent both bands were contracted and paid in full. see
