The organizers of the Field Day festival have announced that Roger Sanchez will not be performing as advertised on New Year's Day 2009 in Sydney.
In an announcement yesterday, Field Day didn't apologize for the cancellation, as in their eyes the blame should be aimed elsewhere.
Despite Field Day getting 100% booking confirmation in writing, approval of billing, artwork and playing time from Roger Sanchez’s agent way back in September (before we began advertising), his agent has informed us that Roger is also booked to play New Year’s Eve in Germany and cannot come to Australia. We are incredulous that this massive a mistake could have been made by an agent and act at this level.
Being the responsible event planners they are, the announcement came with a worthy replacement to the proceedings. Now, instead of Sanchez, Syndey partygoers will have the chance to see Eric Prydz again over the holiday. Being a last minute replacement, Prydz will have a busy schedule: He's also set to perform at Sydney's Shore Thing on December 31st and Melbourne's Summadayze on January 1st.
