'Huge disappointment' as N-Dubz Derby gig cancelled
'We are very unhappy'
An open-air N-Dubz gig which had been due to take place in Derby this weekend has been cancelled.
Dappy, Fazer and Tulisa said they were "very unhappy" the show at Derbyshire County Cricket Club could not go ahead on Saturday.
In a statement on Instagram, the hip-hop trio said: "We are very unhappy to announce that this Saturday's show in Derby is cancelled.
"We, along with our touring team, have done all we can to make this a great show for you, but due to the promoter's inability to follow the terms of our contract it cannot go ahead."
Those with tickets have been told they can attend the group's concert in Telford, Shropshire, next month instead.
Promoter Icons Talent said N-Dubz had cancelled the concert due to circumstances beyond its control.
Managing director Nathan Thaker said: "My team and I have worked tirelessly to make sure we bring something exciting to our home city of Derby but unfortunately we have to accept N-Dubz's decision.
"We would like to apologise to all the fans who were looking forward to this gig.
"Everyone at Icons Talent is hugely disappointed."
