IT has been an ‘unpretty’ day for TLC fans who were looking forward to seeing the ‘No Scrubs’ hip-hop duo at HBF Stadium on Wednesday, February 14.

The venue has now been changed to the general admission at Metro City on the same date.

The Perth headline show, a sideshow to RNB Vine Days winery concert series, has also announced that special guest Shaggy will no longer appear alongside TLC for the Perth event “due to a last minute media opportunity in the US”.

“I love performing in Australia and am disappointed I won’t be able to join TLC at their headline show,” the Boombastic singer said.

“I hope to make it up to my fans and return soon.”

Existing ticketholders will remain valid for the updated Perth venue on Wednesday, February 14, no further action is required.

With this venue update, Illusive Presents and Frontier Touring reveal a revised ticket price for TLC’s Perth performance. Tickets can now be purchased for $59.90, available through ticketek.com.au or ticketmart.com.au.

Fans who have already secured their spot at original Gold and Silver reserved prices will receive a complimentary guest ticket for each purchase by showing their HBF Stadium ticket at the door on show night. Gold reserve seated ticket holders can pick up a complimentary drink at Metro City’s Gold Bar by showing their HBF Stadium ticket.

TLC Meet and Greet packages will be honoured at Metro City, however no further are to be sold.
