Just to update, Negura Bunget never actually got to play in Manchester... as far as i heard it was a problem with the local police, but I havn't really managed to find out the full reason why.


Seems like you're right, they were banned from playing there due to some allegations against the band's music.

Negură accused of being Nazis?! This sounds like WITTR revisited...
