Not very respectful from hotpress to announce it on that speciall day… anyways, the music business dark side.
Timing is very wrong indeed.
Yes. I agree, do they have any empathy?
Very disrespectful!
WOW, great news, totally unexpected but I like that, Electric picnic second chance! Taking a ticket now. I agree, announcement should have been another day, even if the lads have probably nothing to do with that.
