WINGER tour of AUSTRALIA ... Is essentially on life support and NOT going to happen.. mark my words.

Post by MetalSludgeCEO »

As I noted on the Donnie Vie tour of Australia threads and post about a month ago... the Winger tour, that was scheduled for this Fall is a shot in the dark at best.

Word is.. it's now being pushed to spring 2024. #shocking

In other words... tix didn't sell for sh!t... and the promoters are already scrambling trying to save face and NOT have to refund those who already bought tix.

One fan commented Winger has dates listed they are playing in Germany at the same time they're supposed to be playing in Australia.

Can you say ClusterF#@K?

And I don't attach that to Winger the band... but rather, this promoter, who has a history of pulling this kind of stuff.

-----------------------------
Andrew McNeice:
Looks like Winger AU tour postponed until April 2024 now.
Melbourne venue now listing April 27 as the new date.
No confirmation from any parties at this stage.

Australia isn’t worth the hassle
Just add Winger dates San Diego-OC- Ventura with Whisky show
Watch Australia on YouTube
Jani Lane and Bret Michaels should form a band called "Nelson II"

It is....

Also the same promoter who fumbled the Melodic Rock Fest Down Under tour a few years ago... announced a 15+ band weekend, and a handful played while 12+ pulled out.

Here is that article...

MELODIC ROCK FAIL …
MRF Festival & Promoters short change fans while FireHouse stays home & makes bank

And some other Kiss related stuff... this guy is the Rock N' Skull of Australia... has a history if you will.

And those haven't killed any rep he may have had, but why would anyone trust him going forward after those large fails?

The trans expenses alone must require high ticket sales to make up for it.

In Germany, that's not WInger (band). It's actually C. F. Kip Winger "Conversations with Nijinsky“

The US tour seems to be going very well. Then world tour. Great new record too. I saw them in NYC and they killed it! I'm happy for them!

As predicted by me... months ago... it appears the WINGER tour of Australia is not happening...

Or... is imploding as we speak.

> https://www.titanstouring.com.au/upcoming-tours

After looking at their 9 tour-dates for September down that way... they have 6 in Australia and 3 in New Zealand... here is what you see when clicking the TIX buy links. :shock:

Melbourne dates is here @ https://nationaltheatre.org.au/events-list/winger-35/

Message states: """""""This show has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances and a new date will be announced by the producers of the show shortly.
We will aim to transfer all tickets to the new date. If this date is not suitable for you, a refund will be processed.
Winger 35 Worldwide Tour hits Melbourne on Friday 15 September and for the first time it’s the original line up!""""""""

My Aussie informant messaged me the following today:
"""""""So here is the thing Melbourne venue is what I sent you from their page. One of the new Zealand shows is post cancelled completely. Everything else, you can still get tickets for September.... no word from promoter AT All. No one knows what's happening.""""""""

I just checked the WINGER website, under TOUR dates... haha, this is amazing!

It appears WINGER is playing in Germany and Australia, for about 6-10 dates, ALL in the same period... lol.

If you look, they're literally playing in both on the same dates, for multiple shows... somewhere there is a lack of communication. Nuts.

Anyone buying TIX to WINGER shows in Australia... get in contact with me, I have some stuff I'd like to sell you... :D

You may be right that the tour gets cancelled but like I mentioned above... In Germany, that's not WInger (band). It's actually C. F. Kip Winger "Conversations with Nijinsky“.

On his own website there is more info and it's pretty impressive that the "She's Only 17" guy became a legitimate classical composer! I swear Kip did not send me here to post this!

At a show a few years ago, my wife and a friend of hers cupped and grabbed Kips balls and cock respectively on stage. He was not a passive participant as he guided each woman's hands to the desired spot. Now, having a wife that is close to Kip, we receive personal messages from Kip that you peons would never be privy to. To wit:

"As you all know, out music is very complex and most bands could never play our tunes. EVERY band or cartoon, that has ever criticized us, is merely envious of our music or unable to comprehend its complexities. Our music us so nuanced that sometimes our own band is unable to perform it. Sadly, this has happened now. In anticipation of our tour in the southern hemisphere, we chose a few practice gigs below 0 latitude. As you know, geocentric forces are the opposite down there and somehow this affected out play. It is for this reason, we are cancelling our Australia and New Zealand tour dates," Charles Winger.

Wow you're ok with your slutty wife grabbing other guys junk? Or do you just like telling your friends that your wife did Kip?
