There is a massive political storm brewing in Australia over the Pandemonium Festival that Alice is appearing at . The Sydney date April 25 also happens to be Anzac Day a very somber public holiday commenerating all our serviceman .

It seems the Returned Serviceman are quite upset with the booking of this date , many strangely have said they would love to see Alice and Deep Purple just not on this day.

The concert is being held in the city centre a mere kilometre from where the Anzac March takes place

There is mounting pressure on the New South Wales premier to cancel this date

Stay tuned …..

Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out, NurseRozetta. (Nice sweater, by the way.)

Here's a news article. This is the crux: "...Planning Minister Paul Scully confirmed the government was "working with the promoter on a solution to find an alternative location for the event". Concert organisers Apex Entertainment also said they were "working collaboratively with the NSW state government on a solution pertaining to the location". But Bainbridge said holding any rock festival on Anzac Day was inappropriate."

It’s been cancelled

Searching for a new date

Plenty of publicity for Alice , every news clip features a small vision of Alice

The new venue appears to be Olympic Park, Sydney. The date remains April 25th.
