UPDATE 2013/10/03:
So, it turns out that the Iggy Azalea’s Beyonce tour sideshows in Australia are officially not happening.
Says touring company IEG:
IEG is disappointed to announce that Iggy Azalea will not be doing her scheduled sideshows while she is in Australia. While all appropriate care and measures were taken when organising these shows including confirmation with management and her agent, unfortunately the shows have been cancelled and tickets will not be going on sale on Tuesday 8 Oct.
Azalea’s management Turn First Artists has also provided the below statement:
Iggy’s management apologise for confusion caused relating to the Australian side shows and take full responsibility for the mis-communications.
UPDATE 2013/10/02, 12.30 pm:
So, it seems that Azalea herself wasn’t necessarily aware of any Australian sideshows when the news was announced, tweeting these updates:
However, these tweets have since been deleted, and touring company IEG have released this vague but optimistic statement:
IEG have recently announced Iggy Azalea will be performing sideshows in Australia presented with The Bump and Channel V. All appropriate care and measures were taken prior to announcing these dates. Like Australian fans, IEG were looking forward to seeing the popular Australian artist perform her own shows in October and are hoping to confirm final dates with her management as soon as possible before tickets go on sale next Tuesday.
Australian tour oracle John Denison has also weighed in on the matter:
@ElijahBallerini it will be sorted mgt problems
