Tinitus cancelled September 9, 2008 | By: Mikael Kahrle (Gothenburg, Sweden) One week ago, we broke the news about a new Tinitus festival in Stockholm, headlined by Klinik and DAF. Shortly thereafter, the organisers flagged for a possible cancellation and today the final decision was made. - There will be no festival this year, because of problems with the proposed headliners. If we can't have the super line-up we wish for, we don't want to go through with the event, Daniel Jonasson from Tinitus says. He hopes to take revenge next year - Tinitus tenth. No Tinitus, no SAMA, no Electric Gathering. Sweden needs more festivals like these and the lack possible headliners is an issue.
