The organizers of the Freedom Day celebration said they had to cancel the previously announced performance of rock bands in Bangalore Square.
“Plans have changed: a concert on Bangalore Square has been canceled. Unfortunately, today all the musicians refused to participate. Some are afraid, others can’t make it from work,” said one of the applicants for the March 25 rally Mikita Semyanenka to the portal Tuzin.fm.
The first one to comment on situation with the cancellation was the band Mutnayevoka: ‘We were ready to play at the event at 19.30, as it was agreed. But it was moved for two hours earlier, and the band cannot perform at the different timer. We are sorry about it, but it is the way it is,’ said the representative of the group Yauhen Zmushka.
The band Amaroka commented on the situation saying: ‘The organizers could not provide the minimum technical rider, not to mention other aspects, as we do not support any of the modern political parties and oppose politicization of the landmark holiday for the whole of Belarus!’
Yauhen Sokalau from the band ZnaROCK: ‘Yes, we refused to do it, already on Friday. There are several reasons, including the time of the event. But we have no claim to the organizers and we are sorry that we could not make it.’
