“All ticket holders will be offered a full refund and should contact the body from which they purchased their tickets to receive their refund.

“The Council, artistes and agency apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

It means the final performance of the year will take place on Sunday when Scouting For Girls headline the 6,000 capacity venue.
