Rapper Dave reschedules shows after Storm Eunice tears roof off O2 arena

Rapper Dave has rescheduled his O2 arena concerts after parts of the London venue’s roof was ripped off by Storm Eunice.

The musician, 23, was due to perform on Monday and Tuesday this week but his concerts were postponed after the venue’s white roof covering was torn away from its supporting ribs.

His gigs will now be held on February 28 and March 1 at the London venue, which was known as the Millennium Dome when it opened on New Year’s Eve in 1999.

His shows in Newcastle and Glasgow have also been moved to March 5 and March 7.

Dave, who won a Brit award, announced the changes on Twitter, adding: “I’m genuinely so sorry I had to move these dates.”

The venue is currently undergoing repairs.

A number of concerts were postponed and have since been rescheduled. UB40’s has been moved to February 25. Simply Red’s have shifted to March 2 and 3. The Lumineers’ has gone to March 4. And Davido’s has moved to March 5.
