Chevelle Postpone South African Tour; The Used Take Their Place
According to a statement released by Hilltoplive today, Chevelle will not be hitting our shores anymore. Here is the statement:
“Chevelle South African tour Postponement:
It is with heavy hearts that Chevelle band management, Creative Arts Agency international and Hilltoplive announce that the forthcoming tour dates in South Africa will have to be postponed…
The band initially committed to the dates knowing that it might be a push for time to complete their new album. However the recording process has taken longer than hoped for and therefore left no choice but to postpone the tour for now. Hilltoplive will be making information on this tour available as soon as a workable date has been found.
Note from Chevelle – “Obviously everyone is really disappointed; there was such enthusiasm and support from all over South Africa and it’s a country we all wanted to see. But we will get there soon.” – Chevelle”
In their place, The Used will be replacing them for Oppikoppi on 7 August and performing at the Grand West Casino, Cape Town on 8 August.

Chevelle = Awesome. Pity they won’t be coming.
The Used = Mind-blowing. Can’t wait!
worst news ever!!!!!! I can’t go cause its a holy month :’(
and the used are one of my fave bands!!!!
slit-wrist-worthy sadness
The singer from The Used just looks like the dead lifeless corpse of Kurt Cobain…
Amped!
The Used can marry my ears.
%$@$# – Slitting your wrists wouldn’t be too holy, bro.
Rather just hit Oppi, hard, and then get forgiven for it at a later stage!
A*
Where can I get tickets from to see them at grand west???
SUPER AMPED!!!!
Why do these awesome bands always screw us over by promising to play here and then bailing? Seriously? I doubt the same happens to other countries. They just have fokall respect for us.
@ Juani-Ticket prices for the Cape Town show cost R250 for general standing, R220 for Mezzanine seated section and R250 for the disabled platform and will be available this Friday (the 1st of July) at 9 AM at Computicket.
[...] we know a lot of people are bleak that Chevelle bailed on South Africa (sadly, it seems to be a regular occurrence here), but we’re trying to look at the bright side [...]
Wohoo!!! I was praying for this postponement.. Chevelle tour originally being scheduled in the holy month and all.
@ Lee, Do you really think bands cancel nowhere else in the world.
Really? REALLY REALLY? are you just pretending to be from Springs?
LMAO @Mika!
Being from Durban, I can’t feel just a bit bleak fullstop. Nobody ever comes here. Its like we’re the ginger cousin that doesnt wash! Seriously? Meh.
To quicky cap, Bands cancel everywhere…. all over the world….. its crazy expensive to tour SA…. and super easy to make a loss money wise.
Yes!! I hope its after the holy month! I’ll so take a road trip. Durban is really a sad place!
