The Black Keys Cancel All NZ & Australian Shows

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Black Keys Cancel All NZ & Australian Shows

THIS INCLUDES THE WELLINGTON SHOW ON THURSDAY 20th JANUARY AT THE OPERA HOUSE REFUNDS AVAILABLE FROM POINT OF SALE

It is with incredible regret that Love Police and Muchmore Music bring the bad news that THE BLACK KEYS will not be heading to New Zealand and Australia for their shows scheduled to begin in Wellington this Thursday at the Opera House. The band will also not be performing at any Big Day Out festivals throughout both countries.

This from the band's management ...

"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."

The band was to perform sold out shows in Wellington, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne as well as the Big Day Outs.

ALL TICKETS PURCHASED FROM THE POINT OF SALE WILL BE REFUNDED. Please refer to TICKETEK & REAL GROOVY WELLINGTON for all refunds.

Cincinnati's finest The Greenhornes were scheduled to open for The Black Keys. They will now be appearing in Wellington at Bodega on Thursday 20th January Tickets available at the show on the night for $25. Their latest release ‘****’ on Jack White's Third Man Records is a stunning collection of Greenhornes songs. In the last five years Greenhornes members have become wingmen for Jack White’s Nashville ‘mafia’ in the Raconteurs, Dead Weather, Loretta Lynn and Wanda Jackson bands. This will be their first Wellington performance. Www.greenhornes.com Www.thirdmanrecords.com http://thirdmanrecords.com/resources/Greenhornes_press.zip
