Stream of Passion UK shows canceled
Bad news, I’m afraid. Due to a stupid, ridiculous, asinine bureaucratic technicality, the Mexican members of SoP were denied entry into the UK today. So we have been forced to cancel our two UK shows in Sheffield and London (3 and 4 Feb, respectively).
I’ll be posting ALL the gory details here as soon as I’ve cooled off enough not to say something really nasty that I’ll regret later. But I wanted to help spread the word a.s.a.p. to maximize the chances that anyone who was planning to attend either of the U.K. shows would be able to cancel their travel plans in time. If you know anyone who was planning to attend either show, please let them know that the shows have been canceled.
Frustratedly yours,

That sucks.. I know Appelmoes?? and his gf are already in the UK, don’t know about the other Dutchies, I think too.. But they’ve been warned already, I think they’ll manage..
Stupid bureaucracy… grrrrrrrr…..
That’s so bad, I’m so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bureaucratic stuff s*cks!!!
Damn, this sucks
Aw, man.. We missed the last shows (exams, yippee) and now this happens? What a carry on
I was looking forward to seeing Lori’s hair in person, too ;_;
RIDICULOUS!!! I really don’t know what else to say! What in God’s name were these stupid bureaucrats thinking??? That these cute Mexicans are terrorists??? Give me a brake!!!
I feel soooo sorry for you SoPpies!!! I know how much you like being on stage and all…
Pinkie Respect!
Of all the things that can go wrong …
this s*cks big time.
@Appel and gf. Hope you still have a good time over there in the UK.
This is truly unbelievable..
I feel so sorry for everyone who wanted to go see those shows, and ofcourse for the band, I know how much you love to be on stage.
Words fail me ! - (And I mean, literally) - “WORDS FAIL ME !”
:(:(:(
That really sucks! This is your most Spinal-Tap moment ever.
How are you all coping?
Ohh no..!!! How can this happen…??? That is the most stupid thing i’ve ever heard!!! I feel sorry for you all
Noooo! I can’t believe it!! Any chance of rescheduling? A way in? Where they flying in or Busing in does any one know?
Bollocks. This was going to be my birthday part for 3 days ago too :’(
What a damm bureaucratic nonsens…. Gr Brittain isn’t still a part of Europe as this shows. Hope that everyone who traveld to England still have a little nice holiday……
I can’t quite believe it still.
Stupid bureaucracy!
I hope they’re rescheduled…
Oh balls…
Hoping for reschedule and whatnot.
We were already between Dover (where the boat ends) and London. Then we heard Davy say: ’sorry guys, it’s a no-go….’
So we didn’t think for long, turned the car, bought an extra boatticket (with a reduced price, thank god!) and got back to NL.
800 KM and 11 hours in car later, we’re back
Unbelievable!! I feel really sorry for all those who are gonna miss the shows and also for the band, who probably were looking forward to it as much as the fans
Just to say that the Classic Rock Society worked it’s socks off over the past few weeks along with SOP management to make the band’s return to the UK a good one. Unfortunately an oversight has resulted in the cancellation. It is a fact that there are hundreds of illegal workers in the UK and Europe and so it makes this all the incredible that a bunch of Dutch people, a Swede and a van full of equipment and (in theory) be accused of trying to bring three Mexicans in to the UK illegally. The UK sucks for many reasons and why people want to come here I’ll never know. On behalf of the CRS and the band our apologies to all the fans (and I am a big one). I have spoken to the band about rearranging the shows but in the meantime refunds are available if you send us the tickets back. The shows still go ahead in London with Kyrb Grinder and two other bands’ and in Sheffield where Breathing Space have filled the void. Now we have to eat all of the £150’s worth of food and beer that was ordered and paid for in advance. We are going to put on a few pounds while crying in to our beer.
Wow uhh…what can I say? Unbelievable!

You’ve just got to love England haven’t you! What a bunch of arse.
This is just insane. I also read the story on the SoP site and I really truly have no words for this.
Crazy ass customs idiot…
Wasn’t me gov…:(

What can I say. My country sucks eggs big time. I hope the band can reschedule some time in the future.
