Hip-hop trio N-Dubz has announced tonight's scheduled gig in London will go ahead, just hours after the group's Nottingham show was cancelled at the last minute. Fans of the group spoke of how they waited in the cold for the concert at the Motorpoint Arena, which was called off after the supporting acts had performed.
In a statement on its social media channels, N-Dubz members Tulisa, Fazer and Dappy also confirmed its Nottingham gig would be rescheduled, including dates. The statement read: "We are pleased to confirm that the show will go ahead tonight.
"We are so sorry to have let so many fans down in Nottingham last night, but we are pleased to confirm that the show has been rescheduled to December 7th. Tickets from last night are still valid for the new date."
Last night's cancellation left many fans livid, with money spent on acommodation, merchandise and refreshments. Among them was Leah Camille, an 18-year-old student who travelled to the gig from Lincoln with her boyfriend Ali Thomson. She told Nottinghamshire Live they had spent more than £200 on a hotel, trains and food and had queued since 2pm.
"It was very very frustrating and I'm angry," she said. "We'd been stood out in the cold for hours."
Responding to complaints put to N-Dubz by the Mirror, the band said a doctor advised Dappy at the very last minute that he was unable to perform. "We had to take this advice seriously and consider Dappy’s health so that the rest of the tour can happen, which has so far been amazing," they said.
Tonight's gig, November 23, is due to take place at the O2.
