Heavy rockers Cradle Of Filth have been told they're not welcome in mainland China and that they'll have to relocated their show in Shanghai.

The band had been planning a show in Shanghai for the end of April, but will now be moving the show to Hong Kong.

A statement from the band read: "Unfortunately at this time, the cultural section of the Chinese government have decided that Cradle Of Filth are unsuitable to play in mainland China and so we are currently banned from playing there.

"Therefore, the show on Tuesday 30 April in Shang Hai (sic), China at MAO Live House has had to be moved to Hong Kong," the statement continues.

"The new venue is Kowloonbay International Trad & Exhibition Centre (kitec) in hon Kong on April 30th. Hope to see you there."

No reason has been given for the ban so far.


Cradle Of Filth's live show is apparently unsuitable for mainland China

Last year Elton John riled the Chinese government when he dedicated a show in Bejing to Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei.
