Amanda Palmer Postpones Tour
It’s sad news that Amanda Palmer & the Grand Theft Orchestra’s tour of Australia and New Zealand will have to be postponed. The decision to postpone all scheduled tours was made to allow Amanda to stay in Boston with her best friend Anthony, who has cancer and is now in treatment with an uncertain outcome. The tour was originally set for January and February 2013 and will now be moved to September and October. All tickets purchased to the January and February show dates will be valid for the rescheduled shows and current ticket holders will not need to purchase new tickets to gain entry to these show dates.
