Raging bushfires throughout Victoria have forced Simply Red to cancel their Day on the Green show at the state’s Rochford Winery.
Country Fire Authorities and state government officials advised the promoter Roundhouse Entertainment that the weather situation was too unpredictable to risk the safety of concertgoers.
As I write this 108 people have been confirmed dead in the fires, while 750 homes have been destroyed. That makes these fires the worst in Australia’s history. Given the scale of the tragedy, I doubt anyone would have felt up to attending the concert anyway.
Ticket holders are advised to hang on to their tickets at this point, as A Day on the Green organisers are attempting to reschedule the concert around lead singer Mick Hucknall’s international commitments.
