Simon Porter
The band is very upset to disappoint the fans, but the organizers of the festival did not fully comply with the band's raider and also the stage requirements, which are an integral part of the contract. Because of this, it was impossible for the band to perform as they and their fans had expected, says Simon Porter to Iltalehte press.

I don't know what a band's 'raider' is Their demands? Their expectations? Their safety concerns? Must have been severe for them to pull out and let fans and ticket buyers down.

Rider I imagine it should say. Did you know that Frame insists that all the seats on the toilets must not just be hygienically clean, but they must also be brand new so his arse is the first to ever have sat on them?

Announcement: RE cancelled gig in Finland
The band is very upset to disappoint fans, but the festival organisers failed to comply with the band’s technical rider and staging requirements, which form an integral part of the contract.
As such, it was impossible for the band to perform to the standards both they and their fans would expect.
In the interest of clarity and transparency the technical rider concerns power and staging necessities. It is separate from the ‘dressing room rider’ i.e. food, refreshments etc.

So, the story goes that Van Halen demanded M&Ms backstage at gigs but marked as 'very important' there be no brown ones. This was to do with safety and if that had been overlooked they would assume more serious issues may also have been overlooked - stage weight, electrics etc.

Apparently the promoters were insisting Francis played a proper Telecaster, not the Aldi version he now favours.
