The Last Dinner Party: Everything you need to know about Glasgow show as band resume tour after cancelled gigs

The Last Dinner Party’s show at the O2 Academy in Glasgow is expected to go ahead this week, despite earlier tour dates being cancelled.

The Last Dinner Party have resumed their tour after several of their scheduled shows were cancelled due to “an unforeseen illness in the band”.

The Brit-winning band cancelled shows in Lincoln and Cardiff at the end of September, before calling off headline dates in Birmingham, Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton “following medical advice”.

However, The Last Dinner Party have since resumed their tour with the first of two shows at 3Olympia Theatre in Dublin on Monday, October 7.

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.”

They added: “We’re so happy to be revitalised and ready to be back at it again – we’ll see you soon.”

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”.
