Update On The GOJIRA & DEVIN TOWNSEND Concert In New York City!


As the tri-state area of the United States awaits a pretty massive winter storm, a blizzard warning is in effect starting on
Friday, February 8 at 6 AM ET and end at on 1 PM ET on Saturday, February 9, the big question a lot of headbangers have is whither or not the concert featuring GOJIRA, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, and THE ATLAS MOTH, will happen or not. The concert is scheduled to take place tomorrow night at Irving Place in New York City.

At this point, the agent who booked the show has not made a final decision regarding the cancellation or postponement of the concert. According to a source close to the bands, a final decision wont be made until approximately 12 PM ET on Friday afternoon.
