Korpiklaani checks in with a Paganfest 2 update

Finland's KORPIKLAANI have checked in with the following update:

"With the addition of The Jumping Turtle � San Marcos, CA on May 18th the Paganfest tour is complete. The playing time for all bands has increased. Although we regret that our friends from ELUVEITIE cannot take part in this tour anymore, we plan to make a huge party of our first tour in the States and Canada.

We are looking forward to cross the Atlantic and meet all of you! See you soon!"

As previously reported, Eluveitie have issued the following explanation about their Paganfest tour cancellation:

"We would like to make clear that this was in no way the decision of the band and that we all were looking forward to do this tour a lot. Also we are working on a replacement tour within 2009 where we'll hopefully also be able to play a special showcase featuring songs off our upcoming acoustic release Evocation I: The Arcane Dominion (due April 11th). We will be back for sure 'cause you guys truly rock and we did not forget the warm welcome we've received on Paganfest I & Death By Decibels!"
