“There might be a conflict brewing at the Maxidrom Rock festival between the fans of the pop artist Adam Lambert and the fans of the cult rock group Korn.” – this rumor was on the internet before the concert started. Yuri Dontzov, one of the festival organizers: ” About two and a half weeks ago we received a letter from Adam Lambert’s fan asking about how Adam’s fans would be protected. Then, the funniest happened – about a week ago we got a letter from Korn fans asking how THEY would be protected from Lambert’s fans.
Even Korn Front man Johnathan Davis was skeptical about Lambert’s performance at the event that over the years earned a reputation of being a Rock festival: “his participation is surrealistic…”There were even threatening remarks from the fans of other groups. [the green hair person]: “ The Prodigy fans will just beat Lambert up. There is no sense beating Lambert’s fans – they are mostly girls, so we will beat Lambert. YES.”
But the confrontation did not happen. Possibly due to the presence of the 2000 strong law enforcement or because of the 3 hours gap between the “light” performers and the hard rock segment. Yuri: ” We intentionally placed the “light” performances like Brainstorm, Adam Lambert, Zemphira at the beginning of the festival and the “hard” ones at the end”
