Earlier this month, Bangalore Open Air’s Crowdfunding effort came to an end, the crowdfunding wasn’t a complete success because of the low participation. But, Salman U Syed, Organiser of Bangalore Open Air had said that the SHOW MUST GO ON and they were working on other plans to pull the gig off.

The Previous Bangalore Open Air Team put out a message to their followers on Facebook saying :

Those who have contributed to keeping metal alive would have received a mail saying that the event has been shelved and you will be receiving the funds back.

Here’s an explanation:

All of you are aware that the BOA team has been working with Wishberry for crowdfunding, and today was the last day of the campaign. What you received was an auto generated message. The event has not been cancelled as of now and we’re working towards bringing you guys the best edition of BOA!

The bands and dates will be announced very shortly. We are awaiting for few confirmations from the artists!
