Hypersonic cancelled after last-minute Melbourne timing change

Dance festival Hypersonic scrapped both Melbourne and Sydney shows in November due to scheduling clashes.

Dance festival Hypersonic cancelled both Melbourne and Sydney shows just weeks before they were set to run. Melbourne was scheduled for November 20 at the Showgrounds; Sydney on November 21 at Randwick Racecourse.

A last-minute Friday timing change for Melbourne created problems. Organisers said they could not deliver the show standard fans expect.

DJ Armin van Buuren was to headline. Ticket holders will get full refunds within 21 days.
