The Blackpool show

hi guys.
Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, we were forced to cancel our show at Blackpool Empress Ballroom on Saturday night (6th Feb).
During the soundcheck, structural issues with the building came to light, and Health & Safety officers pulled the show.
Everyone here is well gutted... It looked and sounded incredible in there, and indeed it would have 'gone off bigtime' if the show had gone ahead as planned.
We spent four and a half hours sitting and talking with disappointed fans and explaining the situation, it was nice to meet everyone... just wish it had been under better circumstances.
Enter Shikari and their management would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the fans who, though obviously upset, were so understanding, and thank you also to the security team for their sterling work under difficult circumstances.
There will be a rescheduled date as soon as possible. Whether this date will happen in Blackpool is still up for discussion. It certainly will not be at the Empress Ballroom, unfortunately, that is for certain.
Tickets for Blackpool will remain valid for the make-up show, or refunds are available at point of purchase.
The remainder of the tour will, of course, continue as planned.
