In our recent Field Day review, we mentioned the absence of Biao from The Island stage. Earlier this week, The Frontier Touring Company shed some light on the situation, announcing the withdrawal of BAIO (Vampire Weekend) from Sleigh Bells’ January 2011 Sydney and Melbourne shows due to flight complications from the US.
Here’s the low down from the promoters:
One of the East Coast’s worst ever blizzards has put a halt to a number of flights from New York and any surrounding areas. These complications are totally unforeseen and both The Frontier Touring Company and BAIO have gone to every possible extent to make the tour go ahead as planned. Unfortunately all attempts were in vain.
Sleigh Bells will be joined by Melbourne five-piece Rat Vs Possum and infamous indie party-starters the Purple Sneakers DJs and this much anticipated show is sure to thrill.
Sleigh Bells will appear in Melbourne at the Prince Bandroom on Friday 7th January and in Sydney at The Forum on Saturday 8th January. Tickets available now!
