Music News - Whitianga Summer Concert Cancellation
31 January 2023 - 0 Comments
Given the current weather event that is playing out in the upper North Island - particularly around the Auckland and Coromandel regions - the Whitianga Summer Concert, due to take place this coming weekend on Sunday 5 February, has been cancelled.
Greenstone Entertainment have announced the cancellation of the Coromandel event based on information received from authorities including Civil Defence, local Council and Waka Kotahi.
The Whitianga Summer Concert was to be the second of a three-show tour around New Zealand featuring ZZ Top, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Stone Temple Pilots and The Angels.
The sold-out Taupo Summer Concert on Saturday 4 February, as well as the Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert in Queenstown on Saturday 11 February will still be proceeding.
Greenstone Entertainment CEO Amanda Calvert says, “We were so excited to bring our show to Whitianga after our hiatus in 2022. Due to the circumstances of the weather event we’ve been faced with in its lead up, the continued disruption around road access in and out of the Coromandel Peninsula, and on information received from authorities, the decision to cancel was our only option. Our priority must always be to protect the health and safety of both our crew that are tasked with setting up and delivering the show, and of course all our concert goers who predominantly travel to get to the show”.
“It is heart-breaking to have had to make this call due to circumstances that are out of our control. We feel for the thousands of loyal fans who will be disappointed to hear this news and for all the businesses and individuals in the Coromandel who benefit from events like ours. We thank everyone for their support and patience during these continued trying times, and we look forward to rocking again with you in 2024”.
