After their last appearance in 2019 ended in an abruptly-cancelled show due to weather, hundreds of complaints and a promoter's financial collapse, the Crusty Demons are returning to Sydney to showcase their death-defying abilities at Bankstown Paceway on Saturday, September 30.
The show promises to feature all the usual motorsport stunts and thills, plus custom-built Crusty Monster Trucks, Quad Bike stunts, Freestyle MotoCross, Jack Field's Trial Bikes, Enduro Cross, Snowmobiles, Jet Cars, explosive Pyrotechnics and Crusty Bands to name but a few.
There will also be all of the usual carnival rides and food trucks for patrons to enjoy, and an after-party for those kicking on.
With some matters still outstanding, the group has reached out to ticket-holders from the ill-fated 2019 show, advising fans to contact them with the ticket info in the hopes of making amends.
Please understand that the Crusty Demons 2019 Sydney show was cut short due to weather and unforeseen circumstances and we sincerely apologize. We have partnered with a new touring company and want to make it right for all the fans and the Crusty Family! We have an upcoming show in Sydney, on September 30th, 2023.
Please send an email with your email address and ticket info and we will do our best to rectify the situation.
The 2019 performance at Campbelltown Stadium faced immediate challenges, with gale-force winds affecting the area, making conditions dangerous and unworkable for the riders despite assurances given on social media by organisers in the lead-up. After a prolonged pre-show, the brief performance featured a number of small jumps and one burnout. The impromptu cancellation attracted nearly 600 complaints amid accusations of poor organisation, double booking and restricted viewing for some patrons.
Ongoing challenges with the promoter mean that matters may still be outstanding for some patrons four years later. Notably, comments on nearly all posts promoting the upcoming tour have been turned off on Facebook and Instagram.
Tickets to the September event are already on sale.
