“Hey everyone, we have been informed of some unfortunate news. The US Immigration Department has been experiencing some unexpected complications, and has informed us that the visas to bring both FHANA and BACK-ON to the US will not be processed in time for A-Kon 31. We've been working tirelessly with the bands, our lawyers, and the government to remedy the situation, but, unfortunately, there are now no remaining options for us to pursue with the US government. 



Our music program and the fans who enjoy it are important to us, so we have made arrangements to bring in alternative performers who already have an active visa and are approved for international travel. We're sorry for the last minute change, but stay tuned for more information about our new lineup later today.”
