Cat Power Announces New Dates
Cat Power aka Chan Marshall has announced the rescheduled dates for her Auckland and Wellington shows. Last month, the singer was forced to cancel her two sold-out New Zealand concerts at the eleventh hour due to illness. Marshall suffers from Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) a potentially fatal rare blood disease that causes swelling around the throat, oesophagus and internal organs.
In a statement released along with the new May dates the Georgia-born artist said: “I’ve been looking forward for so long to return to my home away from home and I wasn't going to let this debilitating illness deprive me or anyone else of that opportunity. I'm so glad to be making it back to New Zealand and Australia."
The change of dates has seen the Auckland show move to larger venue The Powerstation, instead of the Crystal Palace Theatre. Tickets from the previously scheduled Cat Power concerts remain valid for the new dates, and remaining capacity tickets are now available. See below for more information...
