Lawsuit Filed In MTLEY CRE Buenos Aires Concert Dispute

August 17, 2011

TheWrap.com reports that the promoter for MTLEY CRE's recent South American tour is being sued over a proposed CRE concert that was to have taken place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in May.

According to the suit, an agreement was made in December for Dallas-based concert booker Gabe Reed to arrange a CRE concert for promoter Ariel Vigo for a fee of $300,000. After Vigo paid a $150,000 deposit, the suit alleges, Reed changed his mind, telling Vigo that he was shopping the band around to other promoters.

MTLEY CRE eventually had a two-night stand on May 19-20 in Buenos Aires with another promoter, and now Vigo claims that he's out not just the $150,000 deposit, but $2 million dollars that he stood to make from the show.

After CRE completed its South American tour, Gabe Reed commented that "the shows received great reviews and the response by the fans . . . was amazing. There was a lot of craziness along the way but welcome to the world of MTLEY CRE," he added in a May 22 press release.
