The Black Keys unable to appear at Big Day Out
Paul Dempsey added to the line up
The Big Day Out is disappointed to announce that The Black Keys will be unable to perform on any of the 2011 Big Day Out events in Australia or New Zealand due to exhaustion.
The band have provided the following information as explanation to event patrons and fans:
“The Black Keys are sorry to announce the cancellation of the New Zealand and Australian tour including all appearances at the Big Day Out touring festival as well as a portion of the European tour in March. An arduous year of touring and promotion has drained the band and necessitated time off. Dan and Patrick wish to thank all of you who have shown such incredible support since the release of ‘Brothers’ and have helped make the album a success.”
On a positive note, Big Day Out promoters are pleased to confirm the new inclusion of the most excellent Paul Dempsey who is returning from New York to reunite with his band especially for these Australian shows.
We are also proud to now include the fantastic New Zealand attraction Kora as the Auckland replacement.
Take care,
Big Day Out Promoters
