GOJIRA's New York City Concert With DEVIN TOWNSEND & THE ATLAS MOTH POSTPONED!

We just went to Irving Plaza here in New York City to interview Mr. Devin Townsend and found this sign posted right outside the venue:


A word from the GOJIRA camp:


"***URGENT attention NYC Fans, Tonight's Sold Out show at Irving Plaza is unfortunately going to be postponed due to the storm. We have made ever effort to do the show tonight and was prepared to play, but we are now being told due to the public transit being down and the possibility of the storm worsening, many of our fans will not be able to make the show and we would hate to risk that happening, so the show is being postponed to February the 19th.

"Thank you for your understanding."

- Gojira


The NEW date for this show is Tuesday, February 19th. All tickets will be honored, as mentioned above. And in case you were wondering if the bands made it into the New York City metropolitan area, here is a picture we took of Devin Townsend right after we interviewed him (interview coming soon) earlier today.
