It was later revealed the "final straw", as Paul Ressel described it, was the snub from the organisers of South Africa's largest stadium music festival, My Coke Fest. The event - sponsored by Coca-Cola - included local acts sharing the stage with international bands in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The 2008 tour was headlined by alternative acts, Muse, Kaiser Chiefs, and Korn. The festival was regarded as the stage for "international exposure", yet Lark was not billed or considered for one the ten local slots available. Shortly after, South Africa's premier rock festival, RAMFest announced Lark would have their final performance at the festival. The band stated they remain "best friends", quashing rumours of internal strife.
