Important Update: Jazzy Jeff Rescheduled to Wednesday 26 August
It is with great regret that we have to announce that tonight’s performance by DJ Jazzy Jeff will not be going ahead as scheduled.
Unfortunately, due to circumstances completely beyond the artist’s and the venue’s control, Jazzy Jeff’s flight to the UK has been cancelled, preventing him from travelling to Manchester in time for tonight’s show. Despite every effort being made to explore alternative travel arrangements, it has not been possible to get him here in time to perform.
We know that many of you have made plans, travelled significant distances, arranged time off work, booked accommodation, or organised nights out specifically to attend this event. We fully appreciate how disappointing this news will be, especially given the excitement surrounding what promised to be a very special evening. We share that disappointment and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration this unexpected situation may cause.
The good news is that we have already worked with the artist’s team to secure a replacement date, and the show has now been rescheduled to Wednesday 26 August.
All tickets purchased for tonight’s performance will remain valid for the new date. No action is required if you plan to attend the rescheduled show.
If you are unable to attend on Wednesday 26 August, refunds will be available from your original point of purchase. Please contact the ticket agent or outlet through which you purchased your tickets, and they will be able to assist you with the refund process.
We would like to thank Jazzy Jeff’s team for working quickly with us to secure a new date, and we are grateful to all ticket holders for their patience and understanding. While this is not the outcome anyone wanted, we are pleased that we have been able to reschedule the performance so quickly and can still look forward to welcoming one of the world’s most celebrated DJs to Band on the Wall next week.
Further information will be sent directly to ticket holders and published across our website and social media channels.
Once again, we offer our sincere apologies for the disruption and disappointment caused by this unforeseen travel issue, and we thank you for your continued support.
Band on the Wall
