Iron Chic Cancels Pouzza Fest Apperance

After their van broke down in Virginia on their way to Stay Sweet Fest, Iron Chic have been forced to drop off from this year’s Pouzza Fest in Montreal, QC due to financial concerns. The band explained:

We really regret to inform you that, after much discussion amongst the band, at this point in time we are going to have to withdraw from playing Pouzza Fest. A few weeks ago on the way to Stay Sweet Fest in Virginia the van broke down, it was beyond repair, and, essentially, a lot more expenses than initially anticipated were incurred in order to get down there, and then get the band, and all the gear, back home as a result of that. So, that situation, coupled with the upcoming European shows, really just makes it not financially feasible for the band to make it up there for this festival, as there are a lot of variables at play here, and there is almost no time between arriving back home and the beginning of Pouzza Fest to sort everything out financially. We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to you, or anybody else involved with running the event, as well as those people who were anticipating seeing us play. Hopefully in the future a chance to make this up to you will present itself, but at this point in time we sincerely regret that this is something that we just can not do. We wish you the best of luck with Pouzza, and, again, while repeating it doesn’t necessarily enhance it’s impact, we really just want to let you know that we are so very sorry that we have to withdraw at this time.

The festival takes place May 17th to 19th in downtown Montreal and features bands such as MXPX, American Steel, Big D and the Kids Table, Divided Heaven, A Wilhelm Scream, Chris Cresswell, Saves the Day, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Planet Smashers and many more.
