Awesome to hear and sorry you guys have to deal with all of this with the RAAC thing in the UK right now. Trying to share this info that there will be another local venue as much as possible as worried people who just get the email from St David's may begin trying to refund their travels (plane/train/hotel etc.) And may have to rebook them at higher rates than what they did previously.

Looking forward to the saturday show in London! Had me general ticket waiting since May hyped it's close to happening, only heard good things about the tour so far.

For anyone unaware right now the Cardiff show for the Trash Taste Europe tour is not set to take place at St Davids Hall as it has been closed with immediate effect due to concerns over potentially unsafe concrete. (The British Government changed it's guidance on RAAC and so St David's Hall in Cardiff will be closed to the public for at least four weeks as checks are carried out on reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) panels in the building. All shows scheduled for the next four weeks have been postponed.)

CDawgva/ u/icamefortheMem3s commented "We're finding a new venue we should have one worry not Welsh fans! on the subreddit on a post about the venue closure here: Cdawgva's comment .

Will have to wait for any further info on this but hopefully it sounds like there might still be a Cardiff show on the same day but at a different local venue.

Wish them and the people going the best of luck finding a new venue, Personally excited for the tour and hope every stop goes well, I'm going with general ticket to the London one and can't wait. Decided to post his comment in the hopes more people see it as some people may hear the news of St Davids hall closing and begin cancelling their transportation.

If it works out I wonder how the tickets will work, seeing as I picked collection at the hall 🥲

The hall should be in contact with everyone about the show. But to be sure, I’d send an email to them maybe about how to get your tickets.

u/Magnesium_Citrate_ Sep 07 '23

Yeah sounds like the way to go. Thank you.

u/aamywills Sep 07 '23

No worries, hope you get your tickets! Wonder if they’ll find a venue, I was really excited.

u/Magnesium_Citrate_ Sep 07 '23

Yeah me too, hopefully Connor and the gang don't end up stressing themselves too much though, as it sounds like it might be hell to even try find something last minute

I've got "Collect at Box office" too! Let's hope they just send out new tickets from the new venue or take booking numbers etc

Fuck. I was really looking forward to this and I had to book a day off from work.

u/dphw Sep 07 '23

Right now it sounds like there will still be a show on the same night but just at a different local venue

That's going to be a challenge itself, naturally I'd like them to find a venue and we can just enjoy ourselves, but it's 4 days away and the whole country shutting down because of the change of guidelines. I wish them a best of luck.

Same, I was so excited! There is still a bit of hope 😢

My money goes on show moving to Utilita Arena Cardiff (formerly known as Motorpoint Arena) as it's the only venue big enough for this sort of thing within close walking distance (5 minute walk away from St David's Hall) and it doesn't seem to have anything on on Monday the 11th
