News : Negura Bunget postpone Australian tour

By on November 14, 2011

Much to the horror of many atmospheric black metal fans we’re sure, Romania’s Negura Bunget have announced the following…

Statement from the band:

“Negură Bunget is terribly sorry to announce that our performance at Sonic Forge Festival 2011, as well as the Australian dates surrounding it are now canceled. Our drummer Negru suffered a leg injury while filming for our upcoming project and as a consequence he is not able to play drums for at least 2 weeks, possibly more.

We are even more determined to get to Australia, and we are working already on rescheduling all the gigs over there. Most likely that will happen around next years edition of Sonic Forge Festival. We will announce more details about this in the near future.”

Statement from the promoter:

What a huge disappointment it is that Negura Bunget will no longer be able to tour Australia this week. Unfortunately with Negru’s injury happening only in the past couple of days, there was just no possible way to move forward with these shows. We will however be rescheduling Negura Bunget’s Australian tour for sometime in 2012 so rest assured that even though many of you will be greatly disappointed that they are not coming now, they will be coming!

Refunds will be available from the point of purchase for Negura Bunget sideshows. Sonic Forge Festival however is still of course very much going ahead, with final bands being announced later this week! – Tim Charles (Welkin Entertainment)
