Lenny Kravitz has pulled out of his 2015 Australian touring commitments, including a headline appearance at Bluesfest.

The singer-guitarist’s management announced that scheduling conflicts meant Kravitz could no longer make the trip to Australia and South East Asia this year. Kravitz was due to play Bluesfest on Thursday April 2 alongside a Sydney sideshow on Wednesday April 8.

Bluesfest director Peter Noble said, “It is sad for all of us here at Bluesfest, when anyone cancels, as we know it must be for Lenny’s fans right now. Please be assured we are now attempting to find someone else to come and play … Although we are going to miss Lenny when we take off on Thursday 2nd of April, I am sure it’s going to be one of our greatest Bluesfests ever.”

Bluesfest 2015 is on Thursday April 2 – Monday April 6. Should single-day Bluesfest ticketholders wish to cancel for Thursday April 2, they can call the Bluesfest office on 02 6685 8310 by Thursday March 19.
