Fred Durst (@freddurst) tweeted: Hello my Australian people! Little FYI for you- we were never on the bill to play any festival down under. So, looks like VH cancels and we get thrown in the mix, classic. All I can say is that we are very excited to rock OZ as soon as possible. I'll drink to that!

this would be a "here we go" situation, yet i doubt we'll hear a response from vh.

How much ya wanna bet the official site is updated to the following message:

"Happy holidays, and here's to a rockin' 2010!

Dave, Eddie, Alex and Wolfgang - December 29, 2009"

LOL!!! Man I wouldn't doubt it, we'll be right back at square one all over again. Dave's site will just read "STOP".

...Cluckshoe...

Cluckshoe.....hahahahahaha

[PETE'S BROTHER]

well, i might get to see cinderella in sept now

I just don't get it. The festival lineup looked quite solid. (a few too many bands perhaps). And the whole shebang gets called off due to one band that isn't even the marquee and wasn't even advertised decided not to sign on? Something else is afoot here.

I agree something just not right with this whole thing.
SOMETHING SMELLS

[clarathecarrot]

Wouldn't it be funny if The Haggis got the promoter to roll over on limp bisquit and insert Cluckshoe as co- headliner...lol Haggis does have the ability to buy his way in ( he would pay to play instead of getting paid in hopes of fucking Ed and Dave up) and gleen off VH nothing new there...If so I can completely back ED running away from the douche promoter...

^Just my conspiracy head rolling doobies..lol^

I bet we will find lack of proper business sense as the issue with this turn of event..by the promoter.

[chefcraig]

have they released any sales info as of yet?

Nope. However...

"Tickets purchased online will be refunded automatically as soon as it can be processed. If you purchased from an outlet, refunds will be available next week from point of purchase."

It is with great sadness that we announce the cancellation of the Revolution Festival.

Many of the festival bands will still be coming to Australia in that time period and team up to bring you some very special shows. These will include multi band/mini festival line-ups in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. We will be announcing these events in the next 7 days.

Tickets purchased online will be refunded automatically as soon as it can be processed. If you purchased from an outlet, refunds will be available next week from point of purchase.

Does this mean VH may still be schedualed at different dates...?

Or will they cancel the whole Aussi tour..?

[Guitar Shark]

Now, somebody explain to me how a few months ago, this lineup was perfectly kosher enough to start advertising and selling tickets to, yet all of a sudden...it ain't.

Exactly, that's why I think there's something missing here. Maybe poor ticket sales, or something else.

i need a few beers outta the carrot drawer

I had learned my lesson by this time but I acted correctly on this occasion (the thread is around here somewhere) DLR was going to appear I believe Sept of 2005 in St Louis at a Casino across from a hotel my x had stayed at on business, so we were in like Flynn! Bantonelli and a bunch of others and I had agreed to meet up and make a great time of it The RA concert group grope, first for me.....last minute DLR cancels, cancels tour, we got all our money back and insisted we don't -Go Anyway -due to above aforementioned that accured with another x.
At least to my great relief later that month it was mentioned that DLR had rejoined VH and the 2007 tour was in the making ( that is why he canceled his tour for greater good perhaps)...I forgave all because it was laced with great news .

This is just bad business...but who know maybe they will cut it down to one night and VH will still play..?

P.S. Beers are iced and free of charge.
