NEW LONDON SHOW ADDED

Midnight Oil has today announced an additional concert in London at the iconic Hammersmith Eventim Apollo. The band hope this additional supply of tickets in the market will reduce the ability of scalpers to unscrupulously profit from the passion of Midnight Oil fans.

The new concert will take place on Sun 23 July. Tickets to the new London concert will be on sale from 12:00pm (London time) Thu 2 Mar.

NEW SHOWS ADDED IN SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE

In a measure to put tickets into the hands of fans rather than scalpers, Midnight Oil has today announced additional concerts in Melbourne and Sydney. The band hope this additional supply of tickets in the market will reduce the ability of scalpers to unscrupulously profit from the passion of Midnight Oil fans.

The new concerts will take place in Melbourne on Wed 8 Nov at Sidney Myer Music Bowl and in Sydney on Fri 17 Nov at The Domain.

Pre-sale tickets to the new Melbourne and Sydney concerts will be available to Midnight Oil fans who have signed up to the band’s newsletter from 1:00pm AEDT on Mon 6 Mar for 24 hours (or ends earlier if pre-sale allocation is exhausted). The pre-sale password will be sent out to the mailing list at 5:00pm AEDT Sun 5 Mar. Sign-up at www.midnightoil.com/mailing-list.

Eleven shows on The Great Circle 2017 Australian Tour have already sold out. Final tickets for all remaining Australian dates are available at www.midnightoil.com/tour-dates.

Those who missed out on tickets to the Sunshine Coast show at Big Pineapple Fields on Saturday 14 October will be thrilled to hear that extra tickets have just been released and are on sale now.

To allow for the additional Melbourne show Midnight Oil’s performance at Wollongong’s WIN Entertainment Centre (originally scheduled to take place on Wed 8 Nov) will now take place on Mon 13 Nov at WIN Entertainment Centre. Midnight Oil and Frontier Touring appreciate the understanding of Midnight Oil fans on the necessity of the date change. Ticketholders who are able to attend the rescheduled show date need take no further action; their existing ticket will be valid for the new date and their location within the venue remains unchanged.

Ticketholders who can no longer attend the rescheduled Wollongong date are asked to seek a full refund by 5pm AEDT Friday 31 March 2017 via the show’s official ticketing agency, Ticketmaster – ticketmaster.com.au ph: 136 100.

Midnight Oil sincerely apologise to those affected by this rescheduling.

The General Public on-sale for both new Sydney and Melbourne shows will take place from 1:00pm AEDT Wed 8 Mar. All ticketing information for The Great Circle World Tour can be found below, as well as at www.midnightoil.com/tour-dates.

MIDNIGHT OIL WORLD TOUR SELLS OVER 200,000 TICKETS, 25 SHOWS ALREADY SOLD OUT, EXTRA SYDNEY & MELBOURNE SHOWS TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON DUE TO PHENOMENAL DEMAND

NEW SHOWS ADDED IN SYDNEY AND MELBOURNE – CLICK HERE FOR DATES AND TICKETING INFO

– – – – – – – – – –

Midnight Oil’s “The Great Circle 2017” world tour has struck a massive global chord with music fans. Over 200,000 tickets have been snapped up in just the first few days. All 14 North American shows have sold out plus ‘house full’ signs are already up for other venues including London’s Hammersmith Apollo and the iconic Olympia Theatre in Paris.

Back home in Australia today’s general public onsale saw all existing tickets sell out for eight shows in Kuranda, Brisbane, Hunter Valley, Sydney, Melbourne, Macedon Ranges, Canberra and Wollongong. Remaining Australasian dates are selling fast so interested fans are advised to get in quickly for their chance to see Midnight Oil at one of those other locations. For a complete listing of shows that still have tickets available please click here.

In breaking news, Midnight Oil and Frontier Touring are moving quickly to announce an extra Sydney and Melbourne show in November. Dates, venues, lineups and on-sale times for these two extra shows will be announced within 48 hours and will be posted immediately on www.midnightoil.com and the Midnight Oil Facebook page.

Meanwhile fans everywhere are warned NOT to buy tickets from reseller sites. Such unofficial sites may currently be legal but they typically charge vastly inflated prices and sometimes even offer fake tickets. Midnight Oil is well aware of the problems caused by automated ticket buying around the world and the band is as frustrated as its fans are by this ticket scalping. It may be legal and impossible to stop in many places but it is clearly a big problem for both fans and artists on all ‘high demand’ shows these days.

In an attempt to frustrate these scalpers, discussions are currently underway to possibly shift some North American shows to larger rooms. Further international dates are also under consideration to allow more people around the world to be a part of this special tour. So anyone who buys tickets from a reseller over the coming weeks could well end up regretting that choice as more legitimate tickets may be released. Fans should therefore only buy tickets via the official outlets listed on www.midnightoil.com/tour-dates and keep an eye out for news of opportunities to access more tickets as they become available.

Sign up to the band’s mailing list at www.midnightoil.com/mailing-list to receive notifications about more ticket releases over coming months.
