Post Malone postpones London gigs as Tube strike disruption looms
Post Malone postpones London gigs as Tube strike disruption looms

Post Malone has been forced to postpone his two London concerts scheduled for this weekend and early next week due to planned strikes on the London Underground. The 30-year-old American rapper was due to perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 7 September and Monday 8 September, but organisers said the industrial action made it impossible for fans to travel safely to and from the venue.

Live Nation, the show's promoter, confirmed the rescheduled dates: the Sunday show moves to Saturday 20 September, while the Monday performance is shifted to Sunday 21 September. In a statement on X, Live Nation said: “Without a Tube service, it’s impossible to get people to the concert and home again safely, and therefore no event licence can be granted for the nights of 7th and 8th September.”

Ticket holders unable to attend the new dates can claim a full refund by contacting their point of purchase before 10am BST on Monday 8 September. Refunds will be issued within 14 to 21 days, and any returned tickets will go on general sale from 10am BST on Tuesday 9 September via Ticketmaster.

Transport for London said on Friday afternoon that the strikes, which begin on Sunday, remain scheduled, though there is still time for the RMT union to call off the walkout. Members of the RMT are due to stage a rolling strike over pay and working conditions, with most services ending around 6pm on Sunday and little or no Tube service expected between Monday and Thursday.

The postponement follows a similar decision by Coldplay, who moved the final two dates of their ten-show residency at Wembley Stadium from 7 and 8 September to 6 and 12 September. Fans of Post Malone reacted angrily to the announcement, with one person travelling from Ireland describing the late notice as “a financial disaster” after losing the cost of flights, while others criticised the timing of the news.
