The Black Keys Cancel Australian Tour

Due to drummer, Patrick Carney’s shoulder injury, American rock duo, The Black Keys, have had to cancel their upcoming Australia, New Zealand and Japan shows on their Turn Blue World Tour.

The cancelled dates include Byron Bay Bluesfest on Friday 3rd April. This is another devastating blow to the festival, which has also had to say goodbye to Ben Howard and Lenny Kravitz from the line-up. With regards to Bluesfest, The Alabama Shakes will now close the Mojo stage on the Friday, following a set by Paolo Nutini.

Anyone looking for a refund on Friday tickets following the cancellation of The Black Keys can do so by emailing [email protected] or call the Bluesfest office by Friday 27th March.
