VANDEN PLAS Explains PROGPOWER USA VIII Cancellation

October 4, 2007

German progressive metallers VANDEN PLAS have issued the following statement regarding the cancellation of their scheduled appearance tonight (Thursday, October 4) at the ProgPower USA VIII festival showcase event at Center Stage Atlanta (formerly known as Earthlink Live) In Atlanta, Georgia:

"We feel deeply sorry about what happened and that we couldn't make it this year.
Unfortunately, we couldn't pass the immigration control when we arrived in Detroit on Wednesday, October 3rd. The immigration service told us that we had the wrong papers. We don't understand the problem because we did it in the regular way. They were sending us back home after six hours of questioning. We had no chance to go to Atlanta.

"Now that we're back home after 40 hours of non-stop travel, we are sad and empty to face this disappointing situation. We've been really looking forward to ProgPower USA VIII for such a long time. Nevertheless we wish you a great festival in our absence with all the other great bands."

ProgPower USA VIII is being held October 5-6 at Atlanta's Center Stage.
