Small Blaze Shuts Down Fillmore, Cancels Shows
Last night's show at the Fillmore was on fire. Literally. Before headliners Dethklok hit the stage, an electrical fire was "sparked during Soilent Green's opening set," according to SF Weekly. Fans were ushered out of the building posthaste. Yikes.
Sadly, Dethklok couldn't go on, and the show was canceled. Dethklok's MySpace page breaks the news to their fans:
SF Show at the FILLMORE CANCELLED BECAUSE OF FIRE:Last night June 6th a small electrical fire stopped the show stopped the DETHKLOK show from happening- everyone was evacuated safely and most importantly NO ONE WAS hurt.
The band was ready and excited to play especially because the Fillmore is an amazing and legendary kick ass venue. Ultimately the cops/fire department deemed the situation unsafe to perform and cancelled the show- not the band, not the venue but the cops. The band was incredibly disappointed to find they couldn't play. But again most importantly NOBODY GOT HURT.
The people in suits are trying to find out what to do- hopefully there will be a rescheduled show. do please check with THE FILLMORE'S website as they will be posting news as it comes to them.
Thanks to all the fans who remained incredibly cool, collected, and understanding during a possibly dangerous situation.
Sincerely,
Charles Offdensen
