Seminal post-punk group Gang Of Four have announced the postponement of their Australian tour. The band’s 2014 Australian run was set to kick off next month at The Corner Hotel in Melbourne, in celebration of the 35th anniversary of the group’s groundbreaking album, Entertainment!
According to a statement released on the band’s official Facebook page, “Gang Of Four’s forthcoming Australian tour dates have been curtailed by some unforeseen family circumstances of a serious & personal nature. The decision has certainly not been taken lightly…”
No further details were given, but the band assured fans that “all tickets will be fully refunded & further tour dates will be rescheduled & announced soon.” The band offered “apologies to all who have purchased tickets & all the inconvenience caused” and thanked fans for their support.
The band were last here for Soundwave in 2011 and have since undergone a lineup change, with founding guitarist Andy Gill now accompanied by bass player Thomas McNeice and singer John Gaoler, who’s been working with the band for the past two years, including on a new album.
