Shepherd's Bush Empire has closed unexpectedly, and all forthcoming gigs postponed, following "a formal inspection of the roof." The Courteeners' gig was postponed until further notice on Friday, while Kodaline's forthcoming tour dates have been rescheduled for March.
After Courteeners' gig was cancelled last minute on Friday (4 December), the venue has now revealed the reason for the cancellation - it suffered "serious structural damage" last week.
In an "urgent notice" posted on the academy music group website, the venue said, "Safety and amenities for our customers and staff is paramount and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience this unexpected maintenance and repair may cause. We are undertaking remedial works and aim to be fully open within a matter of weeks."
A handful of gigs are set to be affected by the repair works, including One OK Rock, Kodaline, Kim Wilde's Christmas Party and Hawkwind.
