I remember seeing this in the newspaper at the time and instantly thinking ‘not happening’
Turns out the radio and print ads that featured Motley as support were very quickly pulled by the promoter. Apparently Motley ‘had no idea’ about it or something along those lines. The show ended up going ahead as a one off Dublin-leg of Download festival that year with GNR headlining and bands like Funeral for a Friend and Bullet For My Valentine supporting. I was there - it was a great show.
Crazy how it got as far as radio and newspaper ads though, anyone remember this or know how it came to (not) be?
