Charlotte de Witte has cancelled an Australian headline show and set at Pitch Music & Arts Festival, which was scheduled to start this weekend.
In a statement issued on Wednesday (March 4th), the Belgian producer said the decision was made “due to the recent escalation of conflict and drone attacks in the Middle East”.
“… it is not possible to risk free reroute travel for myself and my crew. This decision was not taken lightly,” the statement reads.
De Witte was scheduled to perform at the Victorian dance festival, as well as a headline date in Sydney on Friday night.
“We are working on rescheduling the Sydney show and finding an alternative show for Melbourne before the end of the year,” the statement continues. “All ticket holders will be contacted directly by the event organisers with information regarding refunds or new dates.
“I am truly sorry for the disappointment and was very much looking forward to being with you.”
De Witte was last in Australia for her sets at Wildlands and Beyond The Valley in 2022, where she delivered thunderous, high-energy performances that cemented her reputation as one of techno’s most powerful live acts.
