Barry Gibb Cancels Bluesfest and Australian Tour

by Paul Cashmere on December 20, 2016

in News

Barry Gibb has cancelled his Australian and New Zealand tour for 2017 including his Bluesfest headline performance.

Live Nation says “a change in international commitments” is the reason for the cancellation. A reschedule is not possibly, the company says. Noise11 understands bad ticket sales were to blame.
