Tuska - Bal-Sagoth Cancelled
TUSKA OPEN AIR METAL FESTIVAL ANNOUNCEMENT
- Bal-Sagoth Cancels
- Skyclad added to the roster
Tuska Open Air Metal Festival in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki, during 15.-17.7. has made a slight but very regrettable change in the program.
British cult band Bal-Sagoth have been forced to cancel their performance. For some time now, the band has stated on their web site that the recordings of their forthcoming album are still on their final
stages. Due to this we received the following messege from the band's frontman Byron:
"BAL-SAGOTH will regrettably not now be playing the Tuska Open Air Metal Festival in Helsinki, Finland as previously planned. This is due to the fact that the band are in the final stages of recording the long awaited and much delayed sixth and final album, and all available time and effort is being directed towards the completion of the opus. However, BAL-SAGOTH greatly look forward to playing in Helsinki and meeting their steadfast Finnish supporters later in the year once the sixth album has been completed."
Plans for a club show in Helsinki this autumn are currently under way.
Replacing Bal-Sagoth will be another British forerunner of Folk Metal, Skyclad. The band was formed in Newcastle in 1990 and today Skyclad is regarded as a classic in the Folk Metal scene. Skyclad was one of the first to combine traditional metal with folk influences in a way that has attracted a large number of followers. Skyclad's last studio album A Semblance Of Normality was released in 2004.
Right before their Tuska-show, Skyclad will perform two days in a row at the Dong-Festival in Germany with a regular performance on Friday and an acoustic one on Saturday. Skyclad will perform at Tuska on Sunday 17th of July at 16:45 on the Sue Stage.
There are still a few hundred tickets left for Friday, all other tickets are sold out. Remaining tickets for Friday cost 32 euro each and they are sold at Tiketti (www.tiketti.fi) and Lippupalvelu (www.lippupalvelu.fi).
Tickets for the evening clubs are sold only at Tiketti and cost 6-8euro.
Tickets for NightLife Rock are available only at the festival site and at the door of the club.
