Babyshambles have pulled gigs in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth at the behest of their immigration solicitor.
“The band will be playing exclusively at Splendour In The Grass and will not be touring to other Australian cities on this trip,” a spokesperson for festival organisers Secret Sounds comments. “This is due to various considerations, including advice from our immigration solicitor.”
Babyshambles are gearing up for the release of their ‘Sequel To The Prequel‘ album on September 2nd, and will embark on a lengthy tour of the UK shortly thereafter. Reflecting on the news that those touring plans will not now be preceded by the Australian dates, the band have remarked on Facebook:
“While we’re disappointed the tour hasn’t worked out this time, we’re very excited about playing our new songs at Splendour In The Grass and we’re hoping to reschedule the other shows for some time in the not too distant future.”
