After much manoeuvring from the tour promoter, long weekend stars Hernan Cattaneo and Apparat are on a plane headed for us. With the volcanic ash fallout thwarting several Australia-bound internationals, inthemix received word this morning from música that the near-impossible has been achieved.

“We have invested a huge amount of time, resources and straight-up cash to make sure our artists make it for the música relaunch,” the statement reads. “We can now 100% confirm that Hernan and Apparat are both on their flights as we speak, sleep and/or type. For all those who were holding off buying their ticket, I suggest you purchase quick smart to avoid missing out on an amazing relaunch.”

With Cocoon recruit Chymera stepping in for Marc Marzenit in both Sydney and Melbourne, there’s sure to be a lot of celebrating at this weekend’s shows. Nothing like a bit of drama to amplify the excitement.
