Woodland Press Release: Cancellation of Thee Oh Sees show Tues Jan 11


Woodland Press Release: Cancellation of Thee Oh Sees show Tues Jan 11.

To everyone who was looking forward to Thee Oh Sees show on Tuesday Jan 11,
all of us at Woodland are very sorry that the show had to be cancelled owing to the
weather and flood preparations.

As of 4pm on Tuesday afternoon, after having spent the day sourcing backline
equipment despite suppliers closing, both the band and venue were keen to go ahead
with the show. The enormity of the developing situation in Brisbane wasn’t 100%
clear to us as we were offline, dealing with the nuts and bolts of making the show
occur.

However, the police contacted us at 6pm with the advice that lives could be at risk
were the event to go ahead, and made it clear that it would be in everyone’s best
interest for the show to be cancelled. We then acted immediately to announce the
cancellation through all available channels.

Both Thee Oh Sees and Woodland are mega-bummed the gig couldn’t go ahead as
planned. A free house show was even considered, but once everyone understood how
bad things were getting, we couldn’t in clear conscience proceed for fear of anyone
being hurt while getting to or from the show.

We hope Thee Oh Sees can come back and play for us again sometime soon. Until
then, refunds on tickets are available at point of purchase. To all Woodland-goers and
their families, we hope you made it through the last few days unscathed and healthy.
See you soon!
