The Red Hot Summer Tour shows in Sydney this weekend have been cancelled due to severe flooding and more rain forecast in the coming days.
The concerts, originally scheduled to go ahead at Cockatoo Island this Saturday and Sunday, were to feature a line-up that included Hunters & Collectors, James Reyne, The Living End and Killing Heidi.
"The site has been deemed unsafe and we are unable to complete the build despite every attempt of our crews working around the clock to do so,” promoter Duane McDonald said.
“Patron safety is paramount to us and we have always done our very best to ensure you have the best possible experience. We have currently had 115mm of rain on site and are underwater.
"We are as devastated as you all are. Unfortunately, due to venue and artist availability we are unable to reschedule these shows.”
Festival organisers have advised that Ticketmaster will "refund ticketholders back to the original credit card used to purchase the tickets".
