Organizers of Snowbombing 2012 are ‘smoking’ with anger after Snoop Dogg backed out of the April event.

The organisers off the Snowbombing 2012 festival week in Mayrhofen, Austria, this April are scrambling to find a new headliner after Snoop Dogg has declined to take part in the event.

“We are sad to announce that Snoop Dogg has cancelled his European tour which unfortunately means he is unable to appear at Snowbombing 2012,” said a statement from the organisers.

”We are extremely disappointed but we are now working around the clock to replace him. We will have an update for you soon.”

Snowbombing 2012 will take place from 9-14 April in Mayrhofen (www.snowbombing.com).
