Is The Last Dinner Party’s Glasgow show cancelled?
No. The Last Dinner Party’s Glasgow show will go ahead as scheduled at the O2 Academy on Thursday, October 10.
A statement on social media revealed that the band was “excited to resume” their tour following the short break. It read: “This week has been absolutely crucial in restoring our health to the point where we can give you the best performances we possibly can.
“Again, we want to express how truly sorry we are to have missed the shows this past week and how grateful we are to you all for supporting and understanding whilst we take the time needed to feel better.”

The cancellations came after the band expressed their disappointment when a Lincoln venue enforced a security policy which left fans, mostly male, feeling “uncomfortable and disrespected”.
The Last Dinner Party shared on social media that they were unaware of the policies, and stated that “they would not have been implemented had we been made aware of them in advance”.
