Chaos as international superstars are forced to cancel show last minute amid wild Queensland weather

As a lifestyle expert with extensive experience in event management and concert production, I can say that the sudden cancellation of Take That and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s final Aussie tour show due to severe weather is always a disappointment for both artists and fans alike. Safety should always come first, but it’s never easy to see an exciting concert cut short by Mother Nature.


On Sunday evening, two popular British musicians unexpectedly scrapped the closing concert of their Australian tour due to hazardous conditions that compelled them to abandon the performance stage.

On a green day, Take That and Sophie Ellis-Bextor had been scheduled to co-headline an event with Ricki-Lee Coulter at Sirromet Wines in Queensland.

In the midst of an exhilarating evening at the concert, my world suddenly paused when an unexpected turn of events occurred – a sudden storm approached with ominous clouds looming overhead. The sight of forked lightning dancing dangerously near the stage raised safety concerns that left us all on edge.

Based on accounts from attendees, the sky was clear and bright as Aussie artist Ricki-Lee Coulter, aged 39, performed several of her top tunes along with cover versions.

Nevertheless, Sophie’s performance took a potentially risky course as it neared its conclusion. At this point, the performer, aged 45, disclosed that she had been instructed to stop the show due to an imminent threat of severe lightning.

As the hours passed, the weather deteriorated significantly, eventually leading to the cancellation of Take That’s headlining performance during their This Life On Tour.

The makers of “Back for Good” posted on Instagram, clarifying that everyone attending the event will get a refund due to the inconvenience caused.

Because of the intense storms sweeping through Brisbane and South East Queensland tonight, the Take That concert scheduled at Sirromet has unfortunately been called off,” they announced.

I’m utterly crestfallen, but the well-being of the artists, audience, and team takes precedence above all else. Fear not, no action on your part is needed to secure your refund.

The reimbursement will be made back to the initial payment method you used when making the purchase on Ticketmaster.

Sophie, famed for her 2001 dancefloor-slaying track “Murder on the Dancefloor,” issued a heartfelt apology to her followers via social media.

Apologies that the rain brought an end to the performance in Brisbane tonight. Looking forward to returning soon, and I appreciate Take That inviting me to perform with them during these shows.

The band Take That posted a fan’s video analysis of the chaotic situation, which included disturbing clips showing people rushing out of the venue as the weather turned severe.

She mentioned that the broadcast has been halted for Take That, as the sky is now filled with rain and there are large flashes of lightning.

We’re seated in an open field surrounded by thousands of others, with no immediate plans for departure. We’re just two rows away from the stage – can you spot the large metallic construction in front of me? I must confess, I’m not particularly fond of it.

The fan said she would be happy to ‘go out’ at a Take That concert, but moments later she shared footage of people rushing to their vehicles for safety.

During the storm, people were seeking shelter, and overhead, a deep rumble echoed – that was the sound of thunder. Meanwhile, flashes of bright light streaked across the heavens – those were bolts of lightning.

The event occurred merely a few days following Sophie and Take That, who were photographed together backstage, commencing their joint Australian tour.

In an exclusive shot, Sophie outshone everyone in a bold, vibrant magenta mini dress, adding a splash of color to the band’s uniformly dark all-black attire.

As a devoted fan, I find myself describing a memorable scene where Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen gracefully appear in matching black turtlenecks and well-tailored pants, creating an impressive, synchronized style.

Initially established back in 1990, this group initially boasted members like Robbie Williams and Jason Orange. However, it now thrives as a strong trio, maintaining a dedicated and unwavering fanbase.

Last week, the band performed in Melbourne and Sydney, and then traveled to Hunter Valley and Mount Cotton prior to their concert in New Zealand on Thursday.
