30.06.08:  The address of Mumiy Troll to its fans regarding the cancellation of the performance on Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper's holiday.

Dear friends!

I, as well as other members of Mumiy Troll, is very sorry about cancellation of our performance on MK MEGA BIT FEST holiday.

We have been actively preparing for this concert during the last month. On the festival, we wanted not only to introduce our new songs to the audience, but also to present a part of our unique video and light show, created through several months by several dozens of video artists from all over the world. We had to bring many of them to Moscow at our own expense, specially for managing light and video projections. We knew that the performance will be a festival one and free of charge, so we didn't even discuss our fees, preferring to perform in Luzhniki for absolutely free.

Unfortunately, one day before the concert the group was informed that the festival organizers won't be able to provide us with capabilities of such a performance because of organizational and technical difficulties directly related to misunderstanding of specificity of live performance of several artists on one stage, sponsorship agreements of the festival administration, weather conditions and lack of necessary light and projection equipment. We would like to hope that all this mess happened by accident, every one of us was probably too carried away by football events! Personally, I would like to add that we'll try to find an opportunity to fully present our unique new concert program to the public, in corpore!
