MARILYN MANSON Performs In London After Delay
November 28, 2003MARILYN MANSON performed at Alexandra Palace in London on Wednesday (November 26).
The show, which featured openers PEACHES, was apparently delayed for close to an hour, causing a number of audience members to have to wait to enter the venue for a far longer period of time than originally expected.
The following is the official statement issued by the concert promoters, Clear Channel, regarding the delay:
"[Wednesday] night, the first concert to take place at Alexandra Palace for some years was held featuring MARILYN MANSON. As the promoters of the concert, Clear Channel and Straight were responsible for the staging of the event and very much regret that they encountered some logistical challenges, which led to a 45-minute delay in being able to open the doors. This delay in turn had a knock on effect throughout the evening, that meant a large number of customers had to queue for an unacceptably long time to enter the venue.
"Having overcome the problems that resulted in the delay, the concert did go ahead and both PEACHES and MARILYN MANSON played full performances.
"As the promoters of the concert, Clear Channel and Straight would like to stress that the delay was caused by issues involving staffing, licensing and health and safety issues and no delays were caused by either PEACHES' or MARILYN MANSON's stage set ups.
"Clear Channel and Straight would like to apologise to all the customers that were inconvenienced and hope that it did not detract too much from what was a fantastic event."
