iHeartRadio Australia cancelled

The inaugural iHeartRadio Australia music festival featuring Miley Cyrus has been cancelled after organisers failed to secure enough acts to fill the bill.

Bosses behind the US event were hoping to bring the music festival Down Under for the first time in October (14) but the concert at the Allphones Arena in Sydney has now been scrapped.

The organisers say, "Our objective for this first iHeartRadio Australia Music Festival was to create the very best experience possible for music lovers, and when this wasn't possible, the difficult but the necessary decision was made to cancel... This is as a consequence of the unavailability of another headline act, who was due to be announced this week."

Cyrus had been due to headline the gig along with Cody Simpson and LMFAO's Redfoo.
