An Open Letter To All
Dear All,
It is with deep regret, frustration, anger and disappointment that The Almighty are been forced to cancel the 'Powertrippin' Again Tour' in December of this year.
The reasons for this lie solely at the feet of a company called 'Hostile Promotions'. These people were to be the promoters on 5 of The Almighty dates in December. They contacted our agent at TKO Booking, made offers, confirmed and announced the dates, failed to promote in a professional manner and subsequently have now cancelled them, of their own accord. Thus failing to honour their agreement either financially or contractually.

The end result leaves the band having to cancel the five remaining shows, leaving very reputable promoters like Duncan Gray, Jon Vyner, Simon Hall and Andy Gallenders, (all of whom are privy to this shameful conduct but, in no way connected), out of pocket with their advertising/ticketing costs and time.

This kind of thing always leaves a sour taste with band, promoters and public alike and undoubtedly tarnishes the artists reputation for the future. We very much hope we can rebuild our relationships with the remaining promoters, thank them for their understanding and backing and thus look to the future from this point.

We can only apologise to our loyal fans that we find ourselves in this position and promise we will do our best to make this up in 2009.

We were desperately looking forward to this tour and this fiasco has put ruin on our 20th Anniversary year celebrations.

We thank you for your continued support and hope that you can understand, we are as pissed off about this as all of you are .

Refunds on all tickets at point of Purchase.

See you down the front soon!

The Almighty.

:( For what it's worth, I've not heard great things about Hostile Promotions before.
This truly sucks. Hope to see you in 2009 for sure.

Promoters who don't do their job properly, now there's something I've never had a problem with before *whistles*
Hopefully we'll see you on the road next year.

the shows have been advertised for months. everyone knows. SO FIND INDIVIDUAL LOCAL PROMOTERS - PLENTY OF TIME. it would work out if you tried..... or at least just come up to glasgow. Rock Radio/Duncan/Donald will sort it out.... x
