Last week prog kings SOEN were forced to postpone their Australian shows due to a family medical emergency while they were checking in for their flights to Melbourne. The band recorded a video message to their Australian fans right there and then at Stockholm airport promising to reschedule the shows as soon as possible.

SPARTA are back. The El Paso post-hardcore trailblazers hit Australia in April or four headline shows only, playing catalogue staples Cut Your Ribbon, Air, Breaking the Broken, While Oceana Sleeps plus new tracks Crater and Everything You Say.

Due to a family emergency, Soen's Australian shows this weekend have been postponed. We hope to have new dates in place over the next 2 weeks. We thank the fans for their understanding. Our best wishes and prayers to Martin Lopez and his family in this difficult time.
