- The Barcelona Rock Fest music festival has announced the cancellation of MANOWAR’s highly-anticipated performance, citing “uncontrollable circumstances.” However, the band claims the festival promoter attempted to modify their agreement, leading to the cancellation.
*Dispute Over Performance Terms*
According to MANOWAR, they had a binding agreement with the festival promoter since June 2020. However, the promoter allegedly tried to unilaterally change the terms, which the band refused to accept.
*Avantasia Steps in as Replacement Headliner*
Following MANOWAR’s cancellation, Barcelona Rock Fest has announced Avantasia as the new headliner for June 30. While some fans are excited about the replacement, others have expressed disappointment, feeling that Avantasia doesn’t match MANOWAR’s caliber.
The cancellation has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some calling for refunds and others supporting the festival’s decision.
