The Enemy Forced To Change Coventry Gig Venues

The Enemy have been forced to change venues for their Coventry gigs next week and released this important message:

"We're sad to announce that because of noise restrictions imposed by Coventry Council and certain health and safety aspects, the sold out gigs on the 21st and 22nd of May will not be able to go ahead in the Ruins, and will be moved to another venue in Coventry.

We are absolutely devastated, just gutted. So much hard work has gone into trying to do something special for the people in Coventry. We absolutely adore our fans, especially our home fans, and we really wanted to put on the cathedral show as a way to say thank you for the support over the years. The noise restrictions and some red tape the council and cathedral have imposed mean that we’ll have to move the gig, at the eleventh hour, been left with no choice.

We don’t want to risk having to cancel the show on the morning if the council and the police decide not to grant a license. It’s not fair to the fans who’ve spent their hard earned on tickets.

So what’s going to happen?

The gig has been relocated to the Coventry Kasbah where we'll play a full set from the first, second and new third album. We’re going to play pretty much the whole of 'We’ll Live and Die', the singles off the second album, and a whole bunch of new stuff from 'Streets In The Sky'. It’s still the day of the album release and it will still be an amazing night!!!.

In addition, the fans will have some of the ticket price refunded. We’re just gutted about not being able to play the cathedral and we know the fans will be too, it was a pricey ticket because of the cathedral location and we think it’s only right to give you a chunk of money back.

So, whilst the cathedral has become impossible, we're still extremely excited to be playing the venue where we played our first gig, on the day we release the third album! The gigs will still be the 21st and the 22nd of May and promise to be an amazing night. Support will come from Reverend And The Makers and local band The Antics.

We’ll see you all there, we’re buzzing for the show, and the release of the album! We’re all mega proud of 'Streets In The Sky' and we’re not going to let a little hiccup like this slow us down! See you at the Kasbah!

Tom, Liam and Andy. x"
