The band arrived in Maldives Sunday morning for LeCute RockStorm Chapter 3 – Awake your Senses scheduled for July 23 at Alimas Carnival.
Mohamed Rasheed, Managing Director of the event’s organiser MaxLevel expressed his hope that the event will be a milestone in the Maldivian music industry.
Michael Amott, founding member and guitarist of Arch Enemy, commented on the band’s official website: “Just when we thought we’d run out of new territories to play with Arch Enemy… This offer came to us through the good people at Rock Storm in the Maldives… Curious as we are – we obviously grabbed the opportunity to go and do this! We’ll bring the tunes and sunscreen SPF 666!”
Arch Enemy’s official website quoted Singer Angela Gossow as saying, “This weekend we are playing two very remote and exotic places: Faroe Islands and the Maldives. Both places have not seen many international acts - In fact we are the first international metal band ever to play the Maldives. We are very curious about the fans and the atmosphere in both places!”
Tickets for LeCute RockStorm will cost Rf190 for standing and Rf490 for seating and discounted travel packages to Maldives are available for the international audience.
Three major music festivals have been cancelled so far this year. US rapper Akon’s concert was earlier postponed indefinitely and the government took charge of the Boney M concert, which was also called off at the last minute by the initial organisers. The music show by Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan was also “postponed” for “security reasons.”
