Swiss folk band
ELUVEITIE has been forced to pull out of the
"PaganFest America: Part II" tour, which is scheduled to kick off in late April in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Commented the tour
organizers: "We've decided that it would be wiser to wait for the band to return in the fall since they've already played during
Paganfest America 2008's touring cycle. On the bright side,
ELUVEITIE will return on a new tour we are currently working on (yes...we're working on something very cool for this fall) where
ELUVEITIE will play an acoustic and a full metal set and it will be worth the wait. With this being said, we have increased the playing times of all the
bands on
Paganfest America and whether you come for your favorite or for all of the bands, you will get the set time you and the bands deserve!"

NOVEMBERS DOOM have just confirmed that they will be adding a very special acoustic set on the same night, May 9th, of their main stage performance at this year's CHICAGO POWERFEST. This will be their first ever acoustic set on American soil, and will be held in the Pearl Room's connected lounge (Capone's) prior to their main set.
For this year's POWERFEST, festival organizer's CRJ Productions have made arrangements to have the adjacent lounge opened up to fest attendees as a special room for fans to kick back, hang out & check out some cool acoustic performances which will take place in between main stage acts. Additional vendors will also be invited to set up in the lounge area, and if any vendors are interested, please contact CRJ via the contact form.
CRJ also commented, "This is yet another step towards our ultimate goal of creating the complete festival experience for the POWERFEST, and we're very excited to see how things will continue to develop. We hope that by opening up the lounge this year, it will give fans a chance to hang out, and even an opportunity to rest instead of having to stand the entire night...something many fans have expressed an eager interest in over the years."
More bands will be announced for the acoustic lounge in the next week or so, please stay tuned...
