ASHCROFT CANCELS PERTH

News just through from Frontier Touring Company is that former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft has cancelled his forthcoming concert in Perth. The singer was due to take the stage in the West Australian capital next Wednesday night at the city's Metro City, but extra commitments in Japan have forced organisers to cancel the show, his last on Australian soil during this visit. His shows at Splendour In The Grass over the weekend, along with his Melbourne and Sydney concerts this week are unaffected. Credit card purchases will be automatically refunded, while refunds at point of purchase are available to those who used cash.
