We are very sorry and disappointed to let you know the Earthshaker Roadshocktour has been cancelled by the organisation 'Metalize' after the Nuernberg show. This organisation simply ruined the whole tour themselves by very bad financial planning and a bad production. Bands were treated very bad, not being paid and not being cared for, tourbuses and drivers weren't paid, backline was not rented...and so on and on...
Despite all the work of the various bandmembers, managements and record labels to let this tour continue things didn't work out and Metalize just pulled the plug. To make things clear, this is not to blame on the Earthshakerfestival, since they also tried to make the best out of it, but unfortunately Metalize had all the responsibility.
The bands ended this too short tour by a very energitic set...to keep up all the positive energy and get rid of all the negative... At the moment we're still trying to figure out possiblities to pick up some of the shows which were planned for the end of the tour, but we can't promise you anything.
We wanna thank all the bands and crew for their great job, especially since Metalize made their and our work so hard. We had fun after all...but it could have been so much more !
