The event was scheduled to start shortly after 4pm.
‘Live Nation and Roundhouse Entertainment regret to announce that tonight’s performance by Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper and Jon Stevens at Mt. Duneed Estate, Geelong will not go ahead, due to illness,’ the statement read.
‘We apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience to ticket holders.
‘A further announcement regarding the concert arrangements will be made early next week.’

Hundreds of disappointed fans flocked to the comments under the post with many questioning why the cancellation had only been shared on social media.
‘Maybe a text to the ticket holders would be nice. Not everyone has Facebook,’ one person wrote.

‘Text this morning would have been nice before we travelled down from Melbourne,’ another said.
‘Why hasn’t Ticketmaster emailed to let people know? This is so frustrating I’m devastated,’ a third person commented.
‘Flew from Hobart to see Rod, how will we be able to come back over now? Devo! We bought these tickets for my mum as a present as it’s her dream,’ another said.
A fifth person wrote: ‘Hope their insurance covers our accommodation and day off work. No email notification to ticket holders. Ended up receiving an email at 1:52pm, 63 minutes before the bus was due to collect us from hotel.’
Another commented: ‘Why haven’t I received any notification? Facebook isn’t good enough, I’m already in Geelong. Drove from Melbourne this morning and paid $400 for accommodation.’

However, dozens more fans sent well wishes to the sick artists and said they’re still going to make the most of the weekend.
‘Hopefully they recover quickly. So many people showing no compassion whatsoever. They are people, not robots. Not a lot of love being shown by fans,’ one commenter wrote.
‘It’s so bloody hot and windy, it’s probably a blessing. Now us five girls are going out for dinner in Torquay while we’re here for a girls weekend! We hope the artists feel better soon,’ another said.
‘Bummer! Hope he feels better as soon as possible and the weather is awesome for next time,’ a third person wrote.
