Especially when its something, you really looked forward to.
Did they give a reason why, they had to cancel?

I just read on antkind.com that the reason why the gig was canceled is because of Iceland's crashing economy.

Major factors:

* Rapidly increased unemployment as result of corporate downsizing and bankruptcies.
* Steep increase of inflation.
* Free-fall currency which leads to nearly doubling of expenses arising from the euro.


Effect:

*
Sharp decrease in residual income leading to cutbacks on luxury and leisure items like concerts.

The concert is thereby cancelled.
lolz, just when I thought my effing country couldn't possibly suck more :P
