We apologize for any inconvenience to our Australian fans and hope to make it there as soon as possible."There has been no official word from the festival organisers or publicists as of yet.
The festival will still go ahead with headliners The Offspring, as well as Killswitch Engage, Incubus, Coheed and Cambia and many more.
