I had the pleasure of meeting Tunisian born, Parisian musician Jean-Pierre Smadja aka SMADJ who is currently on tour along the east coast of Australia performing with his signature Oud, both acoustic and electric.

Today, it is with regret that Mac Miller is announcing the postponement of his upcoming Australian tour dates. After three long months on the road, playing over 70 shows in 90 days, he is postponing his trip due to exhaustion. Mac adds “Thank you to my loyal fans in Australia and New Zealand for all of the support over the years. I wouldn’t want to perform for you unless I was 100% healthy and on top of my game. I promise I will be back to rock with you guys soon.” While we encourage fans to hold on to their tickets, the option to secure a refund is now available to ticketholders via their point of purchase. Frontier Touring wishes to apologise for any inconvenience caused and advises that revised dates are already in the works for 2016.
