Unfortunately, the highly anticipated New Order concert in Cardiff tonight has been cancelled due to severe weather conditions. The 80s synth-pop group, known for their hits like Blue Monday and True Faith, were set to perform at Alexandra Head in Cardiff Bay at 4pm. However, with just a few hours to spare, the outdoor event was called off, leaving fans devastated.
This would have been New Order's first show in Cardiff since 1983 and their first in Wales since 1985. The event, part of The Bay Series Cardiff, also featured performances from McFly, Becky Hill, and Tiesto. It was a weekend filled with music and excitement, but unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans.
The organizers of the event released a statement explaining the cancellation, citing the safety and well-being of the fans and crew as the top priority. They also assured fans that refunds will be automatically processed. It was a disappointment for everyone involved, including founding member Bernard Sumner, who was unable to perform with the rest of the band.
Despite the disappointment, the organizers mentioned that the shows scheduled for Becky Hill and Tiesto would still go on as planned. It was a bittersweet moment for New Order, who had just shared a post on social media saying, "rehearsal complete, see you tomorrow Cardiff." However, they quickly followed up with another post announcing the cancellation and promising an official statement regarding tickets.
The lineup for the concert was stacked, with DJ TinTin, UNE, CMAT, and The Charlatans all set to perform before New Order took the stage for the headline slot. Fans had been eagerly anticipating this moment, and many were already en route to Cardiff when they received the unfortunate news. Some took to social media to express their disappointment, while others were understanding of the situation.
One fan, @Warm_Coat, wrote, "Gutted, was going to be our first time seeing you since 1989 .. had our warm coats ready for the weather as well .. but as you say safety comes first." Another fan, @Jack32X, added, "Absolutely gutted, I hope this can go ahead another time one day." It was clear that the cancellation was a huge disappointment for fans who had long awaited this moment.
The news also affected those who had made special plans for the concert. @lisahoey9 had booked tickets for her husband as an anniversary present and was disappointed for him. @Cal_Roberts_ was already on the way to Cardiff with his daughter, who had traveled from the other side of the country, when they received the news. @ian_hamer summed it up by saying, "New Order cancelled. Was due to be their first gig in Cardiff since 1983. Gutted."
New Order formed in 1980 after the disbandment of Joy Division, following the tragic death of lead singer Ian Curtis. The band has had a successful career, and this concert would have been a significant moment for them. However, the safety and well-being of their fans and crew always come first.
