September 29th 2024.
The excitement was palpable as fans eagerly waited for The Last Dinner Party to take the stage at the Engine Shed in Lincoln. The indie rock group, hailing from Brixton, had been gaining popularity and even received a nod at the prestigious Brit Awards. But their rising success was not without controversy, with some accusing them of being an "industry plant."
However, just half an hour before they were scheduled to perform, the group announced on social media that they would be cancelling their gig due to illness. This sudden cancellation left fans outraged and disappointed. They had been eagerly anticipating the show and some had even traveled long distances to attend.
The Engine Shed had even advertised a limited run of extra tickets just four hours before the cancellation, adding to the frustration of fans. The venue advised ticketholders to hold on to their tickets as they would be attempting to reschedule the show at a later date.
But by the time the announcement was made, fans had already queued, entered the venue, and watched two support acts, only to be left waiting for an hour with no explanation. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and anger at the last-minute cancellation.
Some fans even reported strange incidents, with single men being pulled aside, searched, and questioned about their knowledge of the band. This added to the confusion and frustration of ticketholders.
The situation only seemed to escalate when TV icon Rylan Clarke responded to one fan's tweet about being searched at the venue, asking "What?" The disappointed fan ended up leaving the show as he felt "blindsided" by the interaction.
Others shared similar experiences, with some reporting being asked condescending questions before being allowed into the venue. And to add to the disappointment, The Last Dinner Party also cancelled their Cardiff, Wales, concert the following night.
Despite the backlash and confusion, the band has yet to address any of these issues. They simply announced the cancellation of the Cardiff show on social media, apologizing to fans and promising to reschedule at a later date.
