The drama involving the band Dogma and their management team has just taken a new and serious turn, directly impacting the live shows. Hardline Media, the promoter responsible for the band's Australian tour, has officially announced the postponement of the shows, which were scheduled to begin on November 26th in Adelaide.
This drastic decision is a direct result of the controversy that recently erupted. The now former members Grace Jane Pasturini (Lilith), Amber Maldonado (Lamia), and Patri Grief (Rusalka ) publicly accused the band's management of "manipulation" and "mistreatment," among other serious allegations. Shortly after the accusations, management replaced the three musicians.
Now, instead of proceeding with the new lineup, Hardline Media has released a statement addressing the crisis. The statement makes it clear that the promoter is hesitant to proceed with the event given the circumstances.
The statement reads:
"Dear Dogma fans,
Due to the current situation, we are postponing the Australian shows for now. We just want to promote the band that we, and you, thought we were getting.
We will do everything we can to make this happen. But it will take some time. Please hold onto your tickets for now while we try to sort this out for you.
If we are unable to make this happen, refunds will be processed — but we need your support to make that happen. A great way to show your support is by holding onto your ticket, which will allow us to navigate towards a positive outcome where you, the fans, receive what you paid for.
With respect, Hardline Media
