“Stay safe out there!” Green Day cancel Gold Coast show due to Cyclone Alfred

Green Day have announced the cancellation of their final Australian date on The Saviors Tour.

Unfortunately due to Cyclone Alfred – which, according to The Independent, could be “one of the most destructive in the region in decades” – the trio will no longer be performing at the C-Bus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast tomorrow (March 5), following on from their Melbourne and Sydney dates right at the very start of this month.

“Hey Australia, unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control, tomorrow’s Gold Coast show has been cancelled,” Green Day posted in a statement. “With Cyclone Alfred bringing some seriously nasty weather, it’s just not possible to go ahead safely. We know this is a huge disappointment, and we’re just as bummed as you are. Stay safe out there!”

Live Nation Australia add: “We understand the immense disappointment surrounding the cancellation of tomorrow’s Green Day show on the Gold Coast due to Cyclone Alfred. This decision was made in close consultation with local authorities and with Green Day, prioritising the safety of all involved.

“Due to Green Day's international touring schedule it will not be possible to reschedule the Gold Coast show to a later date. All ticket holders will receive a full refund from Ticketmaster. Our thoughts are with all impacted by Cyclone Alfred.”

Green Day will be back in the UK this summer to headline Download Festival – get your tickets now.
