Yep...from the Wildhearts myspace page

Hi guys

We've received word this morning that the bands playing Tattoo Jam have been cancelled by the organisers. The official statement from them is below.

The Wildhearts were very much looking to playing the event and would like to apologise to all of our fans who were coming to see us.

Official Statement from Tattoo Jam:

Due to unforeseen circumstances that are out of our control, we
regret to inform you that the Saturday Night bands, The Wildhearts
and Goldblade have been cancelled.

People who have already pre-
booked tickets for the bands will be issued with a full refund.

I feel a slight pang of guilt for once in my life as when I saw that they'd cancelled I automatically thought the band where heading back to their old tricks again but I was wrong so I apologise to everyone I said that to.........................oh hang on I only said it to myself, It is a real shame though but i guess that goes without saying.

[Chris DLS]

Gutted. We'd bought whole day tickets, before band only tickets went on sale - have tried emailing to see if we get our money back. Will let you know.

Like the idea of another gig somewhere else though, but with only 3 weeks to go is it really possible? Having said that though, if I don't get my money back, don't know if I could afford to go. Unless those with Tattoo Jam tickets were allowed in free. But then the band don't make any money, as they won't be paid be Tattoo Jam organisers. Plus I got to cancel my hotel now.

Sorry, mindless rambling there.

"Unforeseen circumstances"? Band offered to play, band agrees, band plays?
Or is it more complex then that?

"Unforseen circumstances", my fucking arse.
We also bought full day tickets before the band only ticket option became available.
I want a full refund as I'm not going if the bands aren't playing, as much as I like tattoos, the real reason to go was to see The Wildhearts and Goldblade( my 2 favourite uk bands ever).
I'm fucking gutted about this as I bought tickets, booked the guest house, got the time off work and arranged a dog sitter and now it's gone totally tits up.
They better come up with a full refund or I'm gonna be seriously fucked off.
My summer is now officially ruined as this was gonna be my Download/ Leeds fest.
Bastard.

UPDATE.
I've just rung this number 01244 663400 (ex 320) and spoken to a helpful woman who informed me that the bands were cancelled "Due to a lack of interest".
Fuck me ragged, this was the greatest gig of the summer and there was a lack of interest??!!
And I got a full refund.

[Sarc]

And Spit Like This are gonna be the main band? how on earth is that possible? they're the worst band in the entire world and they can't even pl...............fuck its raining I'm off to get my washing in off the line.

[WildCat]

my commiserations to you, people. that is so sad. here's hoping there's an alternative plan!

Sounds to me like they didnt sell enough tickets therefore didnt have enough money to pay all the bands.
