Doves tour cancelled

Sat 22nd Jan, 2011 in Local News

Mancunian rock trio Doves have been forced to cancel their upcoming visit for the Playground Weekender festival and sideshows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth “due to a personal matter within the band”.

The cancellation was announced in a statement posted on the band’s website earlier today:

We regret to announce that due to circumstances beyond our control we have been forced to cancel our forthcoming tour of Australia.

This is a decision we have not taken lightly and our sincere apologies go out to anyone who has bought tickets for the shows and for any inconvenience caused.

Refunds [the the sideshows] will be available from point of purchase.

Doves.

Playground Weekender plans to announce a replacement in the coming weeks.

Nobody has hearted this, be the first!

Aren't the bookers for PGW the old Good Vibes bookers?

If so, then yes, it indirectly IS Good Vibes' fault

PGW at least have a good month to find replacement, unlike BDO having what? 1 week?

At least PGW now have some ticket sales up their belt to be able to ponder a good replacement

it seems that instead of replacing them, they just bumped up Kool and the Gang to a headline slot.
i was kinda hoping they'd play before lamb on the saturday

apparently there will be a replacement for PGW.
i dont think it'll be another headliner though.

and not that I would expect this, but please dont give us the fucking Living ENd

it be good if they could get some one from lane way... but i doubt contract would make that possible....

I thought kool and the gang were playing saturday, at about 7pm. They suit the whole dress up day vibe and party times.

mondo22

mondo22 said on the 25th Jan, 2011

they may still. they've just temporarily bumped them up to one of the three headliners on the bill, but theyre probably working to get someone else in.
would definitely prefer to see them on Dress Up Saturday

Playground isn't an overpriced festival, but surely for the ticket price you can't lose the headliner and replace with The Living End and expect people to be happy with what they paid. Its like dropping Tool from the BDO and swapping them with The Living End. Just doesn't work

Perhaps they can reduce drink prices as a trade off!
