“Our next Melbourne show is set to take place on July 27th at Margaret Court Arena. Our fans and friends have made us aware of recent comments by Margaret Court regarding her opposition to Qantas’s support of same-sex marriage in Australia, and her wider views on race and sexuality,” said the band in a statement.
“We know Margaret Court’s opinions are not shared by the majority of Australians. We want to add our voice to the call for marriage equality in Australia —right here on Margaret Court Arena itself. Australia should be a country that celebrates positivity and inclusion, as well as achievement on the sporting field.”
As part of their forthcoming show, the band will be commissioning a special tee shirt which will also be sold at their Sydney show and at Splendour, with all proceeds going towards support of Australian Marriage Equality.
What a bunch of legends.
