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.

DEVIN TOWNSEND Updates Fans About Tonight's New York City Show With GOJIRA & The Atlas Moth!


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 tonight at Irving Place in New York City.

Heavy Devy has released the following update regarding tonight's sold out concert:

"We're well aware that a pesky blizzard is expecting to hit the NY area tomorrow and at this point we are unsure what this will mean for the Irving Plaza show. Looks like the bands will be able to get there before the storm hits but if there's an official travel warning put out for cars and trains it may be cancelled by the promoter anyway. We also need to make sure that the bands are able to get out to play the rest of the tour so it's all a bit messy at the moment.

"We'll be having a talk with the promoter in the A.M. EST and will take it from there. More news to follow soon...
"



Finger crossed! And stay tuned as more information becomes available.
