Lineup change this Saturday
Dear Friends and Fiends,
We received a message from Unheilig's booking agency in Germany a few hours ago, informing us that the US Embassy was late in processing the band's visa paperwork, even though the booking agency submitted it in a timely fashion. Unfortunately, because the Embassy physically places the visa stamp inside an applicant's passport, this means that the band's passports are being held at the Embassy and cannot be returned to them in time for them to board their flight tomorrow. We've spent the last few hours with some of our contacts at the German Embassy here in the US, but the band is, despite all of their best efforts, trapped in the system at the moment. By the time the passports are returned on Monday, it will obviously be too late.
Unheilig is very unhappy about missing their first opportunity to come to the US to play for their many fans here, and they were particularly excited about making their debut at a Dracula's Ball. We're also bummed out because we've seen their show and we knew it would be perfect for a Ball.
Right now we're making arrangements to secure a second band to perform along with The Azoic at this Saturday's event. However, we know that some of you are planning to travel from out of the area into Philly and wanted you to have this news as soon as possible. For those of you who are hardcore Unheilig fans, we hope you'll consider visiting our great city and attending the Ball anyway. It is well worth the trip. If you already have tickets to the Ball but you decide that you're not going to travel to Philly to join us, please email us at concierge (at) draculasball.com before this Saturday.
There will be another update as soon as we've confirmed our second band.
We apologize for the inconvenience but we're working hard to make sure you'll all have a blast this Saturday.
