This is from a post on the Litany.net forum from someone who says he spoke with ogre during his ongoing solo tour.

I asked Ogre about this directly a few nights ago, and he indicated that making travel arrangements for Kinetik to see Puppy would be premature at this point. It MAY happen, but to his knowledge it is not confirmed

WTF???

we have a signed contract from The Agency Group (booker of Skinny Puppy) since september 10 for skinny Puppy. Yes indeed ohgr is not aware of the booking made by is US Booker untill he need to know.

All the bands on the kinetik line up where bands with signed contracts.

As for Skinny Puppy, it been 3 weeks we are in talk with the Booking agency that indeed have change the deal with Skinny Puppy show after signing the contract, and indeed they went on booking SP show without talking to the band. We already paid advance fee to have them confirm, so at this point the problem is not on the festival side but on the booking agency side.

we should have final update on this question this week end since we gave this date as final deadline for them to come out with a solution to there problem.

don't worry we are working hard to fix this problem and we will do an official statement as soon we have an update from them.
