Knocked Loose cancel imminent Australia dates: “Anyone familiar with this band knows we do not take cancelling shows lightly”

Knocked Loose have announced the cancellation of this month’s Australia tour dates.

The hardcore superstars were due to head down under for Good Things Festival and their own headline gigs, but the fest have announced that there’s been a “family emergency”. KL’s statement reads: “We’re very sorry to everyone but we have to cancel our Australia trip, including the Good Things Festival and our headline shows around it. Anyone familiar with this band knows we do not take cancelling shows lightly; but family will always come first. We are already planning our return and cannot wait to be back as soon as possible. Love you all.”

Good Things have also confirmed that The All-American Rejects have unfortunately pulled out for the same reason – with Alpha Wolf and Stand Atlantic coming in to fill the respective bands’ slots.

“Unfortunately, our friends in Knocked Loose are unable to play the Good Things Festival, we’re sending them all our love and we’re going to try our best to fill their shoes on super short notice,” say Alpha Wolf. “Catch us on the Main Stage at 3:30pm in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane this weekend!”

Meanwhile, Stand Atlantic write that, “Good Things just got gayer. We are playing Main Stage @ 2:45pm everyday.”
