IT is cool and rainy in Cairns at the moment but a sandstorm is brewing and set to roll into the city next month.

Finnish DJ Darude is taking his iconic 1999 hit Sandstorm to The Pier Bar for a one-night-only set as part of his Australian tour.

The Pier Bar general manager Amy Glennon said Darude was a huge act to have perform at the venue.

“We’re expecting people to travel from around Queensland to come see him,” he said. “Capacity at Pier Bar is 620 so I’d advise people to get in quick to buy tickets.” Darude will wrap up his four-date tour in Cairns and take a few days to enjoy the sights of the Far North before heading home to Finland.

Darude will perform his 18+ show at Pier Bar on Sunday, August 6. Tickets cost $13.30 including a booking fee, and are available via www.moshtix.com.au
