Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill has attacked Qantas Airlines after a second day of strikes today (October 30th), affected their travels to Australia for a series of re-scheduled tour dates down under.
“Dear Qantas, u suck, thanks 4 fucking up my trip 2 Oz. Joberg-Dubai-Sydney. 24 hours in the air. That’s how much I love Oz,” Nathan wrote on Twitter.
“The silver lining is that we are throwing one hell of a halloween party on the plane. I’m going as the drunk guy in seat 5a.”
After a show in South Africa last night, Kings Of Leon are due in Australia for a new run of dates which will begin at Sydney’s Acer Arena on Friday, November 4th. Gigs are also booked subsequently in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth.
The Australian shows were originally scheduled for last March, but were cancelled due to an injury sustained by Nathan Followill at the beginning of 2011.
