Damn !
Reading this i did a little research - seems Cavalera Conspiracy were deemed
"inappropriate" for the NZ and OZ leg of the Priest tour (probably by promoters
Dainty Consolidated Entertainment...nothing to do with the bands as they have toured with each other previously without a problem).
"Although CAVALERA CONSPIRACY (featuring Max and Iggor of the legendary SEPULTURA) had several amazing and successful dates with their brothers in PRIEST throughout Eastern Europe, apparently the band has been deemed too inflammatory to open for Priest in Australia and NZ."
Unfortunately i have to admit that more than half the reason i was going was to see Cavalera Conspiracy! I paid the full price for my tickets too so its a rather nice kick in the balls!
BTW if your as pissed as me about this
"change" check out & sign this petition (i didn't start it, but i did sign it):

The promoters better pull out a great support act to replace CC. I have a very bad feeling they will try to get Trivium who are in the country around the same time - saw them support Machine Head + at previous BDO and i really don't rate them, even though they were touted as
The New Metallica (by themselves of course!!
).
Priest will still totally rock out of course, just a massive shame not to be seeing the Cavalera brothers.
