Rod Stewart and Cyndi Lauper have announced a new date for the Geelong leg of their Day on the Green tour, after Stewart was forced to cancel due to illness last week. The initial show was meant to take place on Saturday, 18th March, but Stewart pulled the plug at the 11th hour because of a throat infection.
“Late this morning I was advised that I have a viral infection and my throat is too irritated to sing,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m only human and sometimes get sick just like you do. My greatest joy is performing for you, so I’m doing everything I can to get on the mend and back on stage!”

The rescheduled show will now take place on Friday, 31st March at Mt Duneed Estate in Geelong. As usual, tickets bought for the original date will be valid for the new show.
There are a number of shows remaining on the tour, including two A Day on the Green shows in Mount Cotton up in Queensland, and in Bowral. Stewart, Lauper, and Jon Stevens have some additional shows scheduled for Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and the Roche Estate in the Hunter Valley. See below for all remaining dates and relevant details.
The tour was first meant to go ahead way back in 2020 but was delayed repeatedly due to COVID.
