More Northlane More Northlane

Full Tilt Festival organisers have announced that their Brisbane festival, set to kick off tomorrow, will be postponed due to more COVID troubles. 

It was revealed that members of Northlane and their touring party, as well as other artists on the line-up, had tested positive to COVID this morning. 

“Despite our best efforts, some of us even isolating over the Christmas and new year period. As of this morning we’ve had multiple people in our touring party test positive to Covid-19," stated Northlane's Josh Smith.

"We feel for the organisers, we feel for the staff, our crew, our fans and the other artists, some of which we know have traveled far and wide to attend.

"We did our absolute best, but we couldn’t make magic happen this time. We look forward to seeing you again soon once we’ve recovered.”

You'll be able to catch Northlane, In Hearts Wake, Thy Art Is Murder, Frenzal Rhomb, Slowly Slowly and more at Full Tilt Brisbane on April 23, with all tickets purchased remaining valid.
