Because it did happen and didn't happen at the same time. The site was booked, tickets were sold, and the band was set to play there. Because one of the members of the band had a felony conviction across the pond (I am remembering he stole a car...maybe???), his Visa approval was held up, and several of the band's dates were cancelled due to the State Departments hold and investigate.
