Unfortunately due to ill health of one of The Darkness band members, the up coming Australian Tour for The Darkness and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts has now been cancelled. Please find the below statement from The Darkness management regarding the cancellation:
“It is with great regret that we are having to cancel The Darkness’ planned April dates in Australia / New Zealand. As some of you maybe aware, Ed has had some prior history with hip problems, which resulted in extensive surgery a few years ago, and caused him to miss some US dates in 2012. Unfortunately, over the course of the past few weeks’ touring, Ed has been feeling that all is not right in that department, and has been advised to undergo some rest & tests before potentially taking a backwards step and
making matters worse.

Having only just plunged into the music scene, Brisbane musician Wafia has induced nationwide waves of enthusiasm and excitement with her minimal and experimental folk style. Before her first release in December 2012 (WAFIA – ep) she has been gathering appreciation and accolades aplenty. Her sound is a refreshing mix of old and new, taking the best elements of traditional folk music; the acoustic guitar; the wistful lyrics; the brooding voice. But Wafia has more to offer. With her newly formed and unconventional band, Wafia is playing her first Melbourne show in the intimate setting of 1000 £ Bend on the 17th of March followed by a Brisbane show on the 21st of March at The Hideaway. It is clear that Wafia genuinely gives a part of herself through her music and that is something that should not be ignored, but rather admired and supported if you enjoy hauntingly beautiful lyrics that will leave you in a state of burning heart-felt disdain for life.
