    This should be mint, really like the sound of touts, saw them twice supporting courteeners recently and they have a real raw edge to them and are from Derry so great to see Irish acts in this genre doing well.
    Blossoms and Kasabian speak for themselves really so should be a great night

    I thought this was going to be a story about how touts are circumventing Kasabians anti-touting ticket ID thing...

    Did this get moved to avoid a clash with Muse? Or was it a schedule clash elsewhere?

    I would think Reading and Leeds and logistics played a part and also maybe that Muse becoming available also fed into the decision to change.

    I think this will be a great gig! Saw them in the Olympia back a few months ago, and it was the best gig I had ever been to.

    Kasabian cancelled at the last minute due to 'illness'

    Sad for anyone who shelled out for transport / accommodation etc..

    Absolutely fuming. Here since 6.30 in the lashing rain. Touts were great loved blossoms and was so looking forward to kasabian. Honestly thought the public announcement was a joke. One of the band should have come out and explained what was wrong. A sudden illness honestly isn't good enough 5 mins before your due on stage. There were hundreds of people there who travelled to see them from the UK who are much more out if pocket than me.

    Absolutely gutted and to announce it 5 mins before hand was shockingly poor form. These things happen I suppose just got to suck it up I suppose

    Really poor form. Equally poor form were the people pegging beer at the security and up at the stage :(

    Left Belfast straight after the gig to head home.  On the road at 9pm...should've been home at 11pm...made it home at 6:30am.  Roads closed everywhere due to flooding.  Nightmare!

    I had to tweet Ticketmaster twice who took 2 days to reply and they have put through the refund for me. I didn't want to call as it was 30c a min to ring them.
