Simply Red have cancelled their upcoming Cardiff gig at Cardiff Bay's Alexandra Head this summer, while Lewis Capaldi and Primal Scream's concerts also planned for the venue, have been moved. Simply Red's gig was due to be played on Thursday, July 21, however ticket sellers Ticketmaster have now listed the gig as no longer going ahead. The Cardiff date has also been removed from the band's tour schedule on their website.
No reason has yet been given for the cancellation. The gig was due to form part of the 'Bay Series' - Wales’ new premier concert series that seeks to bring together music, food and culture over six days in Cardiff Bay. The events were due to take place in a custom-built, open-air site.
Primal Scream and Lewis Capaldi were also set to prepare to take the stage at the new Bay site, however, these events are now being advertised to take place at Cardiff Castle.
