Quote from: Snare on August 16, 2026, 08:30:25 PMThe more I hear about this the angrier I get. To bring bands so far and to abandon them like this is depraved. Put them up in your own gaff for a night, and how hard is it to get a van from anybody at Dublin Airport??

Diablo claiming earlier that all ticket holders have been contacted about the cancellation is absolute bullshit. Ours is a minor inconvenience, but shows the ease with which lies are bandied about by this "organisation".

Too right. Extremely angry to see bands treated so poorly. Here's hoping the rest of Europe treats them well and a promoter here can make up for this fiasco with them here in the future

I noticed the promoters Facebook page seemed to have vanished, I couldn't figure it out because that's where I saw the gig advertised, makes sense now.

Seems to have been a "no refund" policy on the event too so I'm reporting them to eventbrite. If I can't get my money back I may as well bury them along the way

Surely they cant get away with that - Small Claims Court? I'd happily give the 20 euro to the bands actually if it helped them out.

She's Brazilian, her name is Ana. She tried to fuck Abaddon Incarnate and Zealot Cult (and Krisiun) on the Asian and South American tours, she's a con artist. She has a long history of doing this. She owes money in England.
I spoke to AI members and asked why wouldn't they expose her. Bands are terrified to look unprofessional on social media with cancel culture still rampant, it happened to me with Grave Sermon.
She should have been exposed before now and this would never have happened to these poor guys. They were set up!
She's pure evil by the looks of it and needs to be boycotted.

That's absolutely horrendous behaviour, I'm sure there'd have been a good few people willing to help out too if the news came out earlier, I'd have at least tried to find a bit of floor space in my gaf for a few lads to kip on

Ana Lucia Gomes Da Silva and Paulo Bikuna Narbaiza are Diablo's directors, wouldn't be surprised if they shut it down and tried starting up again under a different name

I would have driven them to Cork for fuck sake. Horrendous shit! Imagine leaving a group of people on the street overnight like that! 🤬

Their fb was still working for me earlier after the post above saying it was down?

They commented on at least 2 places (just saw Deserted's fb) saying everyone who bought tickets was contacted and refunds are being arranged. Surprise, surprise, no one I know nor others commenting there were contacted at all.

If someone could contact Deadsquad (who released the statement on behalf of all 3 bands) if they could post a link for donations or a dedicated bandcamp purchase they were could contribute the refunds to the tour group or otherwise donate maybe?

I see The Underworld in Camden left a comment under the lads IG statement -

We are very sorry to hear this, and to see your show at our venue won't be going ahead. We've heard nothing from Anna Bikuna / Diablo Productions, they won't answer emails calls or messages, and have not officially booked / hired our venue. It's sad to see there are rogue outfits like theirs in the music industry!

They've pocketed a nice bit from both Cork and London shows. I'm gutted and so angry for these bands. There is fuck all they can do from a legal perspective. I'm not sure what i can do as a punter who bought a ticket for the Cork show, except complain to Eventbrite.

She cannot get away with this. It's infuriating. She's a con artist. Had people buy tickets for London even though the venue wasn't booked?
