I really hope that this one doesn't get cancelled. There's been more problems with delta in Aussie than NZ. If they don't come to NZ, there's no way they're going to Australia. I'm booked to see them in Wellington NZ. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merryfnchristmas Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) I suspect it would be a situation where if they can't go to Aus (which seems likely), they'd also postpone the NZ shows. Would make economic sense, although it'd be a drag. Hopefully they'll get their jandals on soon enough.

Please if any shows don't happen this year let them be rescheduled not cancelled. God knows with covid and everything else people need things like this to look forward to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the soundtrack/solo album by Dave Dobbyn. I remember being delighted when Guns played Auckland in 07 that Dizzy's piano solo was Don't Dream It's Over by NZ band Crowded House. Goes to show that you can get pleasant surprises at shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty cool. I grew up across the pond, but I loved A Dogs Tale as a kid and still have my Slice of Heaven 7 inch single! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted on this forum, whereby Susan posted on FB, to a fan, and said the shows were going to be rescheduled. Can't remember which thread it was posted in though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, just a seat in the stadium. I've got arthritis in my feet and my mosh pitting days are behind me lol. If I'm gonna see a headline act play a three hour show I'd rather sit with a couple of beers and enjoy it. But that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldest Goat Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 There was only 18 new covid cases reported in the last 24hrs and it's continuing to drop. I feel like we'll have things back under full control within October at this rate but I suppose that could be cutting it close given they have the logistics of coming down here and the fact Aussie's fucked, so yeah probably inevitable they reschedule. Hopefully they add at least 1 Auckland show ffs. I'm not heading down to bloody Dunedin just for Absurd and The Seeker lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen Guns in Auckland 93, Auckland 07 night one and Wellington 2017. This November or whenever it's rescheduled will be my fourth time seeing Guns.

Snake pit 1999 I think, VR first tour in Oz, and Slash again sometime in Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to cancel car hire / hotels early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree that if the shows are going to be cancelled it'd be better to let people know sooner rather than later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico was just cancelled, maybe its just a matter of time, and AUS/NZ, will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
