Mi-Sex Reschedule '45 Years Of Graffiti Crimes Tour' To 2025

‘80s Aussie rockers Mi-Sex have postponed their 45 Years of Graffiti Crimes Tour, which was set to begin this month, rescheduling the dates to May 2025.

The band made the announcement over social media this week, sharing that frontman Steve Balbi had a “terrible accident” in which he broke his tibia and fibula and shattered his right foot. As a result of the injury, Balbi requires “extensive and invasive” surgery.

In the social media post, the band asked fans to send the frontman best wishes for a speedy recovery. “Never could his mantra be more true than it is at present – it’s good to be alive!” Mi-Sex wrote.

Following surgery, Balbi is required to remain “relatively immobile” for three months and another three months of recovery and rehabilitation – under doctor’s orders.

The band continued, “For those of you familiar with Balbi’s ferocious and famously high-energy shows with Mi-Sex, we’ve reached the conclusion that honouring Steve’s recovery, alongside protecting the integrity and legacy of Mi-Sex live, must prevail above all else.”

So, here are the rescheduled dates:

The show at The Bridge Hotel, Sydney, scheduled for Friday, 25 October, will now take place on Friday, 16 May. The Memo Music Hall show in St Kilda, scheduled for Friday, 8 November, has been rescheduled for Friday, 9 May. The dates at the Albury SSA and Avalon Beach RSL Club are Saturday, 10 May, and Saturday, 17 May, respectively (previously Saturday, 9 November, and Saturday, 2 November).

Mi-Sex have assured fans that all tickets purchased for the previously scheduled October/November 2024 shows are valid for the rescheduled shows in 2025.

Those who can’t attend the new dates should contact their ticket providers when seeking a refund. For those who do retain their tickets and make it to the new dates, Mi-Sex promise “the show of a lifetime.”

“Thank you for your patience, support and understanding at this difficult time... Arms around you, Steve, Muz, and Mi-Sex,” the band concluded.

Mi-Sex were recently announced as one of the many bands appearing at next year’s Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash and will open for The Angels for a one-off gig at Selina’s in February 2025.
