Tube problems force The xx to move June London gig
Engineering on the Piccadilly line forces band to move London gig out of capital and into Hertfordshire
- Nicki Minaj was 55 minutes late on stage when she performed at T in the Park in Scotland - apparently because the grass was too long, although she's since denied this. Fans booed the rapper when she did eventually show up and to add insult to injury, she only stuck around for half an hour. The incident just added to Nicki's already legendary diva reputation!
Engineering works on the Tube causing travel disruption is nothing new, but The xx have now been forced to move the UK date of their Night + Day series thanks to transport problems.
The event was originally planned to take place in Osterly Park, in the western London suburb of Hounslow, but TFL have now informed the group that the Piccadilly line will be closed for major engineering works on the weekend of the event, which includes Osterley tube station.
The event will now take place at Hatfield House, in Hertfordshire.
The move means the event will boast an increased capacity, and will now take place on June 22.
The lineup currently features appearances from Polica, Kindness, and Mount Kimbie, and Solange will now also play a live show.
The xx will headline the event.

The second Bandstand stage, hosted by Young Turks and Deviation, will feature DJ sets from Benji B, Jamie xx and Sampha, with more acts to be announced closer to the date.
Tickets for the Night + Day series are available now.
