LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts) With news that VOODOO MUSIC + ARTS EXPERIENCE headliners
Green Day have been forced to cancel their appearance this year, Rehage Entertainment is working on plans to revise the weekend's schedule.
"We, like everyone, were looking forward to having
Green Day back at Voodoo," says Stephen Rehage, the founder/producer of VOODOO. "Their 2004 performance was one of the festival's greatest. We are obviously disappointed in the news, but realize the health and well being of Billie Joe is the most important thing right now. We wish him and the entire
Green Day family the best and offer them our full support."
