2007
Theatre of Tragedy, who had already pulled out of the 2006 festival,[4] were initially scheduled to perform on October 20 as the fifth band on the bill. On February 2 it was announced that they had decided to cancel their appearance, with no explanation given. They were replaced by Autumn. The Gathering and After Forever also canceled, respectively on February 15,[5] being replaced by Delain, and May 4,[6] being replaced by Flowing Tears. The lineup was later reshuffled so Sirenia and Epica ended up taking After Forever and The Gathering's place. Darzamat, Autumn and Imperia also pulled out shortly before the date of the festival.[7][8][9]
