In a post on Twitter, The O2 said it would remain closed this weekend.
“Due to adverse weather conditions, we can confirm that there has been some damage caused to the tent fabric in our roof at The O2”, the statement said.
“The affected areas have been cleared and The O2 will remain closed tomorrow morning whilst urgent repairs take place.”
The venue’s website said Friday’s postponed show by Indian singer and rapper AP Dhillon in the Indigo At The O2 performance space had been rescheduled to Tuesday.
There have been no updates yet as to whether Dave’s shows in the main arena will go ahead.
Dave posted to his Instagram Stories on Friday that his Birmingham show that evening would go ahead, adding: “I never wanna let the people down, trying to make the best call we can so be safe and I’ll see you tonight. As of now ALL shows are going ahead as planned.”
The O2 has been contacted for comment.
