Project46 published an official statement on their Instagram account explaining what happened at the festival. The band canceled a show they were scheduled to perform in Salvador last night .
According to the statement, the Impacta Metal Festival did not provide guarantees for the band, which, even though in the city, did not perform. In an argument, bassist Baffo Neto was allegedly assaulted by the event organizer, Valmir Lima Júnior , and taken to the hospital.
Check out the announcement:
"It is with regret and outrage that we inform all the fans in Salvador and the surrounding region who were eagerly awaiting our performance last night that, unfortunately, due to incompetence and the failure to address numerous issues related to the event (not only with us, but with the other bands and the audience itself), even though we were in the city, it was not possible to hold the show.".
Around 11 PM, in search of a last resort, since the event had already been postponed once, Vini, Baffo, and the team went to the event location to better understand the situation and try to find a solution in a friendly manner, but they were unsuccessful.
The situation worsened 40 minutes after the conversation, when the 'organizer' of the @impactametalfestival, Valmir Lima Júnior, lost control and cowardly attacked @baffoneto from behind with a ROCK to the head, requiring him to be rushed to the hospital.
We are very sorry for this whole situation and we will take the appropriate measures!
