Regrettably the East must announce that Opshop’s Australian tour has been postponed, but stay tuned for the Kiwi band to announce new dates to be scheduled soon. In better news, Supersuckers and Drones tickets are selling lightning fast, so don’t be slow on the uptake for these two. The looming East calendar includes ‘African Explosion’ - a very special one off combined performance for Senegalese Independence Day; Blood Duster head a mammoth line up of local metal acts in aid of the West Memphis Three (whose story is documented in the award winning documentary Paradise Lost); and just announced, the Drones return for an exclusive single performance before they jet off yet again.
