SAN FRANCISCO CANCELLED Bad Lieutenant, scheduled to kick off their U.S. concert debut tomorrow night at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, have been forced to cancel the date due to this morning's volcanic eruption in Iceland that closed British airspace. The band members - Bernard Sumner, Phil Cunningham, Jake Evans, Stephen Morris and Tom Chapman - who all live in the UK, had been scheduled to travel today into San Francisco. When British airspace was closed this morning and all flights were cancelled, they were able to get last-minute bookings for tomorrow on a flight that would have put them into San Francisco late in the day; but just moments ago, American Airlines announced that that flight has also been cancelled.

Bad Lieutenant is extremely disappointed in this bizarre turn of events as they had been very much looking forward to coming to the Bay Area. The band's management is doing everything it can to make an alternative flight itinerary for the remaining dates.

Refunds will be available for ticket holders at the point of purchase.

I don't want a damn refund. Really hope they just delay it or something instead. Was so hyped for this too...

I hope they get here...lots of people including me have airline tickets, tickets for the show, rooms etc! Positive energy!

This really concerns me...ummm...those in this forum know better than anyone, once when a volcano went it was the last day we had Ian.

18/5/1980 Mount St. Helens blows its top in Washington State

18/5/1980 Ian Curtis, English rock vocalist (Joy Division), 23

I'm not trying to be a bummer...but this is a big bummer!

i was going to pack tonite, and now i don't want to do. if they cancel coachella i don't think they will come for just 2 dates.

i'm spending a lot of money from my country for this trip. hope everything will be ok.

We just arrived in SF and only minutes away from Regency. Spoke to someone @ Regency and they said the situation was bleak. And then the official statement...

:(

16 Apr 2010, 00:39

Sad that New York is canceled but not the bands fault at all.

19 Apr 2010, 10:49

Fuck Me! I took some time off to go to a few concerts and have tickets to the New York show.

Is anyone going to see Echo & the Bunnymen at the Paridise in Boston next week. I'll be hitting that show too?
