JAKARTA - Green Day was forced to cancel its final show in Australia when it brought Thetas Tour to the Kangaroo Continent. The show scheduled for the Gold Coast today, Wednesday, March 5 was canceled due to a major storm.

Through an Instagram post, the California band called a major storm called Cyclone Alfred making the weather on the Gold Coast very bad.

"Hi Australia, unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control, tomorrow's Gold Coast show has been canceled," Green Day wrote, citing a statement on Instagram Story, Wednesday.

With Cyclone Alfred who brings very bad weather, it is impossible to proceed safely. We know this is a huge disappointment, and we are just as disappointed as you are. Stay safe out there!

In addition, representatives of Robina Stadium as the venue appointed to hold the Green Day concert also expressed disappointment.

We know how happy the fans are at this concert and we are also feeling your disappointment. Concert organizers have explored every opportunity to continue the event, but the safety and certainty of the travel of concert attendees, performers, and staff is uncertain under current conditions.
