NOFX continues to have problems on their ongoing South American tour. The band's show in Lima, Peru was cancelled because the promoter failed to attain the legal permits to hold an outdoor concert. Riot police arrived before the 2000+ audience could enter the venue. The band made an official statement and basic apology to the fans for yet another show on their South America tour to fall through:

About 200 riot police showed up at the show in Peru on friday to block the venue entrance and stop the 2000+kids from entering, they also would not allow anyone to leave, our crew were trapped for hours without food or water.

They eventually put our equipment in the back of the PA Truck, and then climbed in, along with the opening band "All the Hats" from Argentina, and made an escape. The apparent cause of the police action, was that the promoter had failed to obtain the proper permits for the large outdoor event, and then was not available to bribe the authorities when they arrived in the afternoon to inform everyone there would be no show.

Sorry to all the people who hung out for hours and didn't get to see a show, we were very sad to go all the way to Peru por nada. we will do all we can to make it back next year. An extra apology to the people that then were led to believe there would be a show the next afternoon,around the same time we were getting ready to pack and head to the airport to fly to Chile.
