After LACRIMOSA already finished a successful tour through China and Taiwan in autumn 2006, the next tour was planned for the summer of 2008, but now all the dates have been cancelled by the Chinese authorities. The reason: The Irish singer BJÖRK protested for a free Tibet during a concert in Hong Kong, what brought the Chinese government to forbid all events of European artists during the time of the Olympic Games. LACRIMOSA organized a tour through Russia on short notice and will now play, after two concerts in the Ukraine, shows in Krasnodar, St. Petersburg and two concerts in Moscow, before they will perform as headliner at the Blackfield Festival in Germany on 6th July 2008.
