DEEP PURPLE Cancels MOONDANCE JAM Appearance

DEEP PURPLE has cancelled its previously announced appearance at the Moondance Jam festival, set to take place July 11-14 in Walker, MN. According to a posting on the event's web site, DEEP PURPLE originally confirmed their participation in the event based on the fact they would be participating in a Canadian tour with DEF LEPPARD. The tour package did not materialize and DEEP PURPLE has now pulled out of the festival.
