Simply Red will not perform outside Melbourne today due to the bushfires ravaging the state of Victoria.
Yesterday, Melbourne experienced its hottest day on record (46.4C / 115.5F). Fires got out of control across the state last night causing devastation of property and so far 25 deaths.Simply Red was due to perform at A Day On The Green at Rochford Winery but the decision was taken this morning to cancel the show.
Country Fire Authorities and State Government officials have advised the promoter Roundhouse Entertainment that the current weather situation is too unpredictable to risk the safety of the concertgoers.
A Day On The Green organisers are trying to reschedule the concert around Mick Hucknall’s international commitments.
Simply Red will perform on February 10 and 11 at the Palais Theatre in Melbourne.
