90s Baby Pop at Swansea Arena: Fan fury after organisers confirm Gareth Gates has pulled out just hours before concert

Concert-goers have been left disappointed and upset after one of the headline acts at a 90s concert coming to Swansea on Friday pulled out last-minute. Thousands of people have forked out around £40 each to see the 90s Baby Pop concert at Swansea Arena - which will see several popular bands including Atomic Kitten, Five and S Club perform their top hits - but have been left feeling let down after it was confirmed Pop Idol star and 90s heart-throb Gareth Gates would no longer be performing.

Gareth had been on the confirmed line-up for the Swansea Arena concert for several months - and been featured on all social media posts about the event shared on the official 90s Baby Facebook page, including a post that was published just this morning (Thursday).

But at 1pm today, ticket-holders were left confused when the final running order was shared on the social media page explaining what time each band or performer would take to the stage - and Gareth Gates was not featured.
