To avoid cancelling the shows, our only option is to reschedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;The Sunday 7th September show will move to Saturday 6th September. The Monday 8th September show will move to Friday 12th September. All tickets will remain valid for their rescheduled date.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They added: &#8220;The shows on Saturday 30th August, Sunday 31st August, Wednesday 3rd September and Thursday 4th September will go ahead as scheduled. We&#8217;re very sorry for the inevitable disappointment, frustration and inconvenience that this situation causes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ticket holders who are able to attend the new date do not need to do anything to secure entry to the rescheduled show. Those who cannot attend the new date are eligible for a full refund, which must be requested by 12pm BST on Thursday, September 2. Returned tickets will then go on general sale on Wednesday, September 3 form 11am via Ticketmaster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><b> Got a story?
