Ils avaient une belle affiche, mais c'est annulé pour cause de préventes insuffisantes. Comme quoi, il n'y a pas qu'en France que ça arrive...
Scotland, terre d'asile pour le metal... mouais



Ragnarok UK Metalfest, which was scheduled to take place November 4 at Perth Concert Hall in Perth, Scotland, has been officially cancelled. The event's organizers, Metalism UK Promotions, have issued the following statement on the matter:

"It is with deep regret that Metalism UK has to announce the cancellation of the Ragnarok Festival, scheduled for 4/11/06 in Perth, Scotland. It has not been an easy decision to reach, and one we are extremely disappointed to have to make, however due to the low volume of ticket sales, combined with the higher than expected operating costs, we are unable to proceed with the show. Our sincerest apologies to everybody who has supported us since the announcement of the festival, to the bands, and especially to the people who have already purchased tickets. Refunds are currently being arranged and should all be completed within the next two weeks."

Ragnarok UK Metalfest was slated to include performances by GAMMA RAY, DORO, DREAM EVIL, KALMAH, ASTRAL DOORS, CHARON, ELVENKING and SUIDAKRA, among others.
