A long hot summer packed full of various festive musical activities – A Day On the Green, Nick Cave, Neil Young, Dinosaur Jr, Bruce Springsteen, Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival et al – has resulted in a less than desired outcome for the Adelaide leg of Dig it Up 2013.

So it is with great regret promoters Feel Presents have decided to pull the pin / count their losses / pull up stumps for the scheduled show at HQ on April 26th, and instead offer fans of the Hoodoo Gurus and Dig It Up! one of two options.

  1. A full refund. Please contact the respective ticketing companies for details: VenueTix phone 8225 8888 // Oztix phone 1300 62 545
  2. Exchange your existing Adelaide Dig it Up! ticket for the full Melbourne Dig it Up! experience. That’s right, your Adelaide ticket now grants you full entry to the Melbourne Dig It Up!

Dig it Up! Melbourne is held on the public holiday of April 25th at The Palace Theatre. Other acts include: Blue Oyster Cult, Buzzcocks, The Stems, The Moodists and of course the full proposed Adelaide line-up of Flamin’ Groovies, Peter Case Band and Hoodoo Gurus playing Mars Needs Guitars (plus other smash hits). Full Melbourne Dig it Up! details available here: http://digitup.net.au/

How’s that for value?

NB: This offer is only valid to those who are currently holding an Adelaide Dig it Up! ticket.

Alternatively Dig it Up! and Hoodoo Gurus will make their way back to Adelaide when time allows.

But don’t worry! There’s good news with word that another act has announced sideshows~

Thirty-One years after they last performed, San Francisco’s legendary Flamin’ Groovies will make again their presence known via Dig it Up! The Hoodoo Gurus Invitational appearing at shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.

Dig it Up! Feel are now chuffed to announce the Flamin’ Groovies will also play headline shows in Sydney and Melbourne. Tickets for these limited capacity shows at Sydney’s iconic rock venue the Annandale Hotel and Melbourne suburban favourite the Caravan Music Club will go on-sale Friday 5th April.

But wait, there’s more… Joining the Flamin’ Groovies in Sydney will be fellow Dig it Up! invitee Peter Case, a former member of both The Nerves and power-pop giants The Plimsouls. Case will perform the hits of both those acts plus a selection from his Grammy award winning solo years. Another first for Dig it Up!
