 Black N Blue will no longer be appearing at the upcoming Z Rock Fest promoters have revealed, in a move that appears to be a cost cutting exercise to confirm the viability of the two day event.
Promoters Z Records commented "As everyone is aware the credit crunch has been hitting all aspects of the western worlds economy. During the last 9/10 months we have seen events such as Firefest, Progpower, Thunderfest and many others either cut back or completely cancelled. Z Rock 08 is not alone and despite the efforts of the team behind the show this years event has been hit. As of Thursday last week the entire Saturday was going to be pulled, however after consultation with the acts and other people involved the decision was made to stage the show for the sake of the scene, the last thing it needs is another festival disappearing. We where on target to make a £9000 loss this has been reduced to a possible loss of £3000 by not bringing Black n Blue over for the show.
"Before anyone points the finger, no tickets have been sold via our site since April 22 thats 2 full weeks and sales from the outlets have been low during that time when they should be flying. To compensate for the loss we will be offering a £5 refund to those who paid the full price for their Saturday ticket and £3 to those bought theirs at the discounted rate. A simple form will be given out on the Saturday for people to complete with details of their ticket no's and such payments will be made when we return to our offices on May 22.
"Fridays line up is as advertised and Saturdays remains the same minus Black n Blue, on a positive we are currently looking into the possibility of touring Black n Blue during the autumn to support their forthcoming album."
