Music News - Foo Fighters Town Hall Show Cancelled
20 February 2015 - 1 Comment
It is with great regret that we advise that the Foo Fighters charity concert scheduled at the Auckland Town Hall tomorrow night (Friday 20 February, 2015) has been cancelled.
A truck carrying essential band equipment was involved in a serious accident today whilst travelling from Christchurch to Auckland.
Thankfully the driver is expected to be ok.
The specialised equipment on the truck was so badly damaged it cannot be used. Replacement equipment is being flown from Los Angeles to Auckland in time for the Foo Fighters Mt Smart concert on Saturday night. The Auckland Mt Smart show will proceed as scheduled.
Patrons who purchased tickets for the Friday Town Hall show will receive a full refund.
The credit card used to purchase tickets will be refunded automatically by Ticketmaster. The refund process can take up to 5 days, once processed, please allow 3-5 days for this to show on both your Balance and Statement.
Fans wishing to make a donation to New Zealand Music Foundation are able to do so here http://bit.ly/DonateNZMF
Foo Fighters and Frontier’s thoughts are with our crew member for a full recovery. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to ticket buyers.

The New Zealand Music Foundation thanks supporters in wake of cancelled Foo Fighters benefit show
The New Zealand Music Foundation today expressed its hope for the speedy recovery of a truck driver whose rig rolled near Taihape last night, causing irreparable damage to vital equipment needed for tonight’s Foo Fighters benefit concert at the Auckland Town Hall, resulting in its cancellation.
Thankfully the driver is expected to be ok.
The charity has received messages and support from the band and fans from NZ and around the world online, by email and phone and social media in the wake of news of the cancellation.
Chair of The New Zealand Music Foundation, Campbell Smith says: “There’s no doubt that the proceeds of the concert would have allowed the charity to considerably expand our work supporting music-based projects around the country that make a real difference to the lives of those in need in NZ. But we are grateful for the support of the Foo Fighters and will continue to do our best to realise Dave Grohl’s sincere belief that the world will be a better place if music is more a part of our daily lives.”
The New Zealand Music Foundation receives no government support and relies on donations and memberships to support music-based projects and programmes around the country that change the lives of those in need and provide emergency assistance to people in the music industry experiencing illness, distress and hardship.
