This stuff always happens at the 11th hour and the band will be incredibly pissed-off about the whole affair and as such the chances of working with/for that promoter again will be somewhere between nil and zero because not only have they proved themelves inept, they've also pissed-off the one thing that's most valuable to any band - their fans.
That's an understatement in this situation. The guys are very upset about it. They basically had two options: relocate or cancel.

but simply the main one is that Underworld are, imo, no longer big enough to play these types of venues in the USA.
Depends on the region, really. They packed the Hollywood Bowl last night and that's a fairly large venue with a lot of history. In Los Angeles Underworld have established themselves as great live performers via their individual gigs and two Coachella stage headlining performances so there's likely to always be a sizeable, promotable audience here despite the ebb and flow in popular music.

yeah i guess it does depend, support for this kind of act, will certainly vary from state to state... the US is hooj... and has varied musical tastes from area to area...

UW are probably less popular in certain parts of this country (the UK) and parts of Europe too, than others....

i just wonder though, if their popularity has wained since the last tour... they have been, to quote a well know track, 'underneath the radar' of a lot of people for quite a while now...

i certainly wish they do well in the US, and the HW Bowl show looked rammed so, who knows, i probably don't!!!

i just hope the Denver issue doesn't blight the tour experience...

Re: Denver show now at the Fillmore Auditorium
I sincerely hope that the gig at Fillmore will be the best Underworld gig of any tour in the known universe to make it up to you guys - and I am 100% sure that Rick, Karl and Darren will be gutted by this and will do the best job in the world to make sure that you all have a fantastic time.

Shaney: Please don't throw the baby out with the bathwater, darling. Please rethink your decision, as you may live to regret giving up this opportunity of seeing them live. I know how long you have waited for this, and I know how much it meant to you. Don't decide on the back of all the frustration, anger and disappointment you must be feeling right now (and rightfully so). Give it another day to mull it over. Who knows when they will be back your side of the pond?

Re: Denver show now at the Fillmore Auditorium
Well, it's not like Red Rocks doesn't get packed for electronic acts. Daft Punk and Global Dance Festival were packed back in July. I don't know what happened here with Underworld. The promotion failed at some level, but I'm still glad they're putting on a show.
