Shihad Merch Destroyed In Fire Ahead Of Final Tour

Shihad merch on its way from Melbourne to New Zealand ahead of the band’s final tour has been destroyed in a fire at Melbourne airport.

The cargo with the tour merch already printed and packed was on its way to New Zealand for the show in Hawkes Bay on the North Island tonight (31 January 2025).

Shihad said in a statement, “Over 37 years, you figure you have been through most scenarios that the music industry can throw at you. Nonetheless, having your merch burn to the ground at Melbourne Airport en router to NZ is a new energy. Glad that everyone is safe, we are doing all we can to get new stock printed for our sold-out show in Napier this weekend. Merch will be printed and ready for their about-to-be-sold-out final Australian tour.”
