Spearhead Auckland concert back on, Wellington to miss out

The Auckland show by San Franciscan group Michael Franti & Spearhead scheduled for tonight has been postponed until tomorrow night, but the group's Wellington concert has been cancelled.

The announcement this afternoon, by concert promoter Frontier Touring Company, will be a relief to Auckland fans of Spearhead who were told this morning that the band would play in Wellington only.

The company issued an amended announcement this afternoon indicating that Auckland would get the show.

Frontier Touring said Michael Franti had a medical condition which hospitalised him in the USA and delayed his arrival in New Zealand by one day.

The group's tight touring plans meant that they would be able to do one New Zealand concert only.

All tickets for the Wellington show are available for a full refund from point of purchase.
