A report in Interfax reports an eyewitness as saying: "Everything was fine, and all the equipment had already been set up on stage. However, a few minutes prior to the concert's scheduled start, the organiser came out and told the audience that the show was cancelled."

Guitarist Pat O'Brien tells C-Lebrity: "We played here several times before and there were no problems." Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz adds: "Nobody cared ever. We figured this was our sixth time here. So the other five times were fine."
