It has been announced that the Raggamuffin All Stars Sydney and Melbourne side shows, scheduled for Sunday 19 Feb in Melbourne and Tuesday 21 Feb in Sydney, have been postponed.
This is due to the postponement of the Raggamuffin Music Festival due to take place in Auckland, New Zealand on Saturday 18 Feb. Refunds are available from point of purchase.
Please see below statement from the promoter regarding the postponement of the New Zealand Festival.
Raggamuffin X was to be held on Saturday 18 February at The Trusts Arena, Auckland. Raggamuffin promoter Andrew McManus said slow ticket sales for the Festival and an extremely busy events market in Auckland have meant it is no longer viable to hold Raggamuffin X next weekend.
“Ticket sales for the Festival have slowed in recent weeks and appear to have been impacted by various factors including an announcement that train services will now not be available on the event date due to track work being done. Patron comfort, security and the importance of protecting local suppliers is paramount and was at the forefront of this decision.
"With these factors in mind we have no option but to postpone Raggamuffin X to November 2017,” Mr McManus said. “This will give us time to work through campaigns and the overall success of the project both in New Zealand and for associated concerts in Australia.”
