Howard was due to perform at Bluesfest over Easter as well as sideshows in Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle. His shows have now been moved to May and June, with a Brisbane show added to the tour.
Bluesfest have posted the following statement on their website:
“We are sorry to report that Ben Howard will not be performing at Bluesfest this year. It’s only 3 weeks since he finished his spectacularly successful US tour and he has now decided to update his show working some new musicians into his band.
Ben is a perfectionist and he feels he needs a little more time to work on his show, so it will be at the level his fans have come to expect when he comes to Australia.
As a result he is rescheduling his tour by 6 weeks in order to complete rehearsals.”
