Unbelievable. This was going to be my first chance to see Bernard and the guys live. Stuck with non-refundable airline tickets and hotel reservations too, of course. I was really looking forward to seeing them.
San Francisco Has Been 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.
Brutal.
I was really looking fwd to this :(
Cant say its the bands fault though...hopefully they'll make it over before the summer is out?
Nope, it's not their fault.
But I was flying to the Chicago show for the first tour which ran into visa problems, and now I was flying into San Francisco for this show. I'm beginning to feel like Charlie Brown. :)
