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!"
Finland's up-and-coming KIUAS, Chicago's very own metal veterans NOVEMBERS DOOM, and Germany's PERZONAL WAR are among the first bands to be announced for CHICAGO POWERFEST 2009 (Main Event). Rounding out some of the other support slots will be Sweden's ASSAILANT, Germany's SHEEPHEAD, and Chicago's MINDWARP CHAMBER.
The 7th edition of the Chicago Powerfest will take place at the Pearl Room in Mokena, Illinois on May 7-9, 2009. Also, as previously announced, the PAGANFEST USA: Part 2 tour will be making a stop on the first night (May 7) of this year's Powerfest to kick it off again with some amazing Pagan metal!
The remaining bands, which also include both headliners and both direct supports, will be announced shortly and as they become confirmed. Ticket information will also be made available very soon. Please be patient...as you will NOT be disappointed!!
Once again, tickets will be available for individual days as well as 2-day ticket combos, CRJ Productions, organizers/promoters of the event, will also continue with its
official fan sponsorship/VIP program this year...intended to give fans a higher level of participation in the fest and a chance to take advantage of some cool perks.
