Tickets can be refunded in full at point of purchase.

The band are due to play Belfast's Waterfront Hall this Thursday and Friday.
Snow Patrol were also forced to cancel a number of their European shows - including a Glastonbury appearance - earlier this year because the band's Johnny McDaid required neck surgery.
McDaid's fellow guitarist, Nathan Connolly, had also sustained nerve damage.
There was better news for the band last July when their hit Chasing Cars emerged as the UK's most played song of the 21st century.
Snow Patrol released their latest album Wildness last year and recently played shows at Ward Park in Bangor, where they were joined on stage by Bono, and Malahide Castle in Dublin.
Fans have taken to Twitter with well wishes for the band.
Awe I was so looking forward hope you feel better soon

oh no...this was one of my fears. They had to cancel so many this year...and they announce it so close to showtime. Well, I am still going to London today with hope in my heart but I will have to keep a watch.

Please please look after yourselves lads and give yourself time to recover. If you're not well enough for the next show or the show after that, please don’t push yourself. Just focus on getting better. That’s all we want ❤️
