The Blackpool show

Mon 08 Feb 2010 | Views: 3179 | Comments: 26

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.

FEBRUARY -
SUNDAY 7 - GLASGOW- Barrowlands
TUESDAY 9 - MIDDLESBROUGH - Empire
THURSDAY 11 - BOURNEMOUTH - O2 Academy
FRIDAY 12 - LONDON- Hammersmith Apollo

    awh, blackpool was devastating, travelled from wigan which isnt that bad but i was gutted when you came on and said it was going to be cancelled, like a few others i thought it might have been a joke when you first said it but it soon came crashin down that you was being totally serious, i must admit you looked pretty gutted yourselves seen as though it was the first date of the tour but fingers crossed it'll be recheduled and that will go to plan (yn). having come to the before party i was pleased to have rou sign my ticket and also get a hug from him :) i must admit i love your accents but yeahh cant wait for the rescheduled date :D (L)

  • SuzieScrumpyjack - 09.02.2010 @ 11:31:00AM

    i actually cant believe i met you guys after being a fan for almost 4 years now, and all i could say for myself is 'can you sign my shirt'.
    gutted lol.
    i hope the shows not re-scheduled in blackpool to be honest because theres no way i'd be able to make it this time as i wont be able to get a lift home again :/
    it was amazing meeting you.
    my heart sunk when you came on stage telling us it was cancelled, i thought it was a joke at first.
    never been so gutted in my whole life, we all know it wasnt your fault though.
    i hope the re-scheduled show is in manchester or liverpool :)

  • abbiekinnz - 09.02.2010 @ 08:18:08AM

    hey guys, we all no it wasen't your fault. some people didn't understand what had happend but i live in blackpool and its shit haha. i enjoyed meeting you guys again. see you soon!

  • JimmyHenshaw - 08.02.2010 @ 22:48:15PM

    Manchester is the place to do it at, even rory threw in a cheeky pop towards manchester and i believe that got the most cheers of the night

    get on it folks x

  • AnnaEnteredTheShikari - 08.02.2010 @ 21:05:43PM

    Oh my god, meeting you all made up for the cancellation :D Best day ever!! You actually can't imagine how happy I am now xD

    We got told the afterparty wasn't on, though :( lol

    Are you having another pre-show party? I was right at the front lol, Rou, you borrowed my pen xD

    Did anyone else see that guy with the white top on come out of the place where you were signing, with blood all over his top? He told me it was 'bouncer's blood'. Strange fella. I also felt WELL sorry for you when people started shouting insults, I was well annoyed, it wasn't your fault in the slightest.

    See you at the rescheduled gig, definately xD xxx

  • Tegrraa - 08.02.2010 @ 20:53:18PM

    Do we get our money back? , or the rescheduled gig free? Hope they do a gig at manchester acadamy or MEN if it can be filled, would be amazing!

  • Danneehh - 08.02.2010 @ 20:41:00PM

    I'm guessing...June? Ish, They have the first couple of weeks of that month free, And it'd give them time to plan an even better gig. :D

  • firefighter1588 - 08.02.2010 @ 20:12:04PM

    The after party made up for everything. And the way the band dealt with the siituation by taking time out for the fans just showed how down to earth they are. see you all at the rescheduled gig... where ever it is

  • Rawr♥ - 08.02.2010 @ 20:02:46PM

    When will it be rescheduled?:)

  • mightyford - 08.02.2010 @ 19:37:01PM
