So Pop's April And May Events Cancelled

19 March 2020 | 3:14 pm | Staff Writer

The Pussycat Dolls, Jesse McCartney, Smash Mouth, Steps and more were set to perform.

So Pop has become the latest cancellation in the ongoing coronavirus crisis. 

Billed as the ultimate pop concert, some of the biggest pop icons of the '90s and '00s - including The Pussycat Dolls, Jesse McCartney, Smash Mouth and Steps - were to perform in April And May as part of a national arena tour.

"It is with a heavy heart that Frontier Touring and Arena Touring announce that So Pop 2020 will no longer be taking place in Australia and New Zealand this April and May," said a statement from organisers today. 

"Due to policies and measures put in place by the Australian Government regarding COVID-19, the promoters of the ultimate pop concert deem it infeasible for the show to go on.

"The procedures in play, with government legislation banning indoor gatherings of over 100 people in Australia as well as 14-day self-isolation for the arrival of international travellers, have led to the heartbreaking conclusion that So Pop 2020 will not proceed as planned. 

"It is with extreme devastation this announcement is made with our team having worked tirelessly to produce a world-class event for fans across Australia and New Zealand."

Refunds will be issued via point of purchase.
