Neil Young Cancels Australian Tour

by Paul Cashmere on November 29, 2016

in News

Neil Young has cancelled his upcoming headline Australian tour and removed his Bluesfest date from his website.

Michael Gudinski’s Frontier Touring was going to promote the Neil Young Australian tour in April 2017 and had earlier announced dates would be forthcoming on October 12. That date came and went without word of a tour.

Today Frontier Touring posted on Facebook, “Frontier Touring regret to advise that Neil Young will unfortunately no longer be undertaking a 2017 headline tour of Australia and New Zealand as previously ‘teased’ on our social media.”

Neil Young has already been announced as the headline act for Bluesfest 2017 and at time of publication, his Bluesfest performance has not been cancelled. (NB The Bluesfest date has now been removed from neilyoung.com)

Neil Young’s official website is also still listing the Bluesfest date of 14 April 2017. Bluesfest also has Young listed as the main act for 14 April 2017.

Technically, Frontier Touring has not cancelled the Young tour as the tour was never officially announced but reason has been given why it will not go ahead.

Bluesfest is on 13-17 April 2017.

Other headline acts are Patti Smith and her band performing Horses on 13 April, Doobie Brothers in 15 April, Santana on 16 April and Barry Gibb on 17 April.
