Dan Sultan Replaces Gurrumul At Festival After Admin Error

Dan Sultan will now take his place at Adelaide's Gorgeous Festival

More Dan Sultan Dan Sultan Profile

Gurrumul has pulled out of Adelaide's Gorgeous Festival - and will be replaced by Dan Sultan - after an administrative blunder caused a double-up in dates for the much-loved singer and guitarist.

With tickets on sale to the festival today, the festival have notified fans of the change.

Chugg Entertainment's CEO Matthew Lazarus-Hall admitted, "In the process of changing agents there was a miscommunication on potential  and contracted dates which resulted in a double booking."

Chugg Entertainment have a long standing relationship with Gurrumul and his label Skinnyfish and are currently booking shows for him. The arrangement may not be permanent, however.

Lazarus-Hall added, "We apologise for the inconvenience that this has caused."

The festival will be headlined by Missy Higgins and recently finalised the line-up.
