Promoter, Kryal Castle issue statements re: Rolling Thunder Fest

Rolling Thunder Festival has announced a change of venues after Kryal Castle, the venue supposedly hosting the upcoming event, issued a statement, which disputed their involvement in the festival.

In an official letter (view below) posted via their Facebook page overnight, the venue stated, "there has been an announcement recently regarding a Heavy Metal Concert at Kryal Castle. This event has not been confirmed and is not happening at our venue."

Consequently, promoter Heathen Skulls then provided their own response, confirming the change of venues, writing:

"Due to unfortunate circumstances that related to a previous event at Kryal Castle, it is with a heavy heart that we announce it is no longer possible to hold Rolling Thunder Festival at the Kryal Castle site. We would like nothing more than to continue as originally planned but the situation is now outside of our control and the venue is concerned about alcohol fuelled violence due to their recent experiences. Although we appreciate the efforts of everyone involved, it has become apparent that Rolling Thunder Festival needs to find a more suitable home.

Rolling Thunder, which will feature The Sword, American Sharks, Clowns and a host of other local and international bands, is scheduled to take place this February.
