ANNIHILATOR Escapes Fire At Nottingham Venue

November 18, 2010

Canadian melodic thrash metal veterans ANNIHILATOR escaped a large fire on Wednesday night (November 17),shortly after playing to a packed house in Nottingham, England while on their European headlining tour.

ANNIHILATOR was packing up its gear from the Rescue Rooms venue in Nottingham city center at around 1:00 a.m. when a large fire broke out next door. 1,400 people were evacuated from the venue as well as others from surrounding buildings. No one was injured in the incident. Emergency services were called to the scene and were still putting the fire out on Thursday afternoon, causing significant disruption to the city's transport services. Some of ANNIHILATOR's equipment was still in the venue at the time of the fire and the band and its crew were unable to retrieve it until Thursday.

ANNIHILATOR has now retrieved its equipment and was able to continue with its tour. Catch them live at the following remaining shows:

Nov. 18 - Bristol, UK - Academy 2
Nov. 20 - London, UK - Islington Academy
Nov. 24 - Thessaloniki, Greece - Principal Club Theatre
Nov. 25 - Athens, Greece - Gagarin 205 Club

ANNIHILATOR was regretfully forced to cancel its show on November 19 in Birmingham.
