For the last few days, I've been looking at STP's facebook page, just trying to see if anyone could shed some light on the reason for the cancellation. I saw a number of theories posted (some more plausible than others): (1) STP had a falling out with WJJO, the event sponsor, and cancelled at the last minute; (2) STP was never supposed to be there in the first place (this tour date is missing from the list that appears on their T-shirts, and also, STP was not listed in the autograph schedule for the bands performing at the event); (3) STP was pissed because Papa Roach had some issues with their sound system (on a different stage than STP was scheduled to appear); (4) STP did not like the looks of the crowd and bailed; (5) someone in the band had food poisoning (a doctor was supposedly called in right before the show).
Apparently, the STP merch was there, but it's unclear whether STP's equipment had been set up prior to the cancellation announcement (some people say it was, others say it wasn't).
Anyway, when I checked STP's facebook page again this morning, I noticed that someone had gone in and deleted all of the negative comments that people had posted.
Now, I'm a big fan of this lineup, but I have to say, that's really lame. Some people were rightfully upset about the cancellation, and it's very unprofessional of STP to not make some sort of statement. This does not bode well for a band that most definitely has something to prove right now.
