A huge gig that was meant to take place at the O2 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester has had to be postponed, Turnstile has revealed.
The massive show for the Grammy-nominated group had completely sold out and was supposed to happen tonight, Wednesday 16 August.
The American band explained that they were struggling with ‘passport complications’ and that not all of them had been able to make it to the UK.
Speaking in a heartfelt statement shared on social media, the members of Turnstile said they were “devastated” to not be able to perform in Manchester.
The American hardcore punk group also apologised for any inconvenience caused by the rescheduling of the show and assured fans that their other gigs would go ahead as planned.

“Due to passport complications, not all band members were able to arrive in the country in time. We’re devastated and so sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. All other shows will continue as planned, and we will see you next week in Manchester. Love you all so much.”
Despite the relatively short wait for the new show, many fans have been gutted that tonight’s gig is postponed, with countless having travelled quite the distance to get here and see them.
One person wrote on Twitter: “Good morning to everybody except Turnstile’s tour manager.” Another said: “not turnstile’s show being rescheduled for next week on the same day i’m seeing don broco.”

Someone else posted: “200 quid on travel hotel paid all non refundable I understand stuff like this happens but this short notice of updating people is pretty lame.” Similarly, one fan added: “had the hotel & train tickets paid for and non-refundable looool i’m gutted.”
The UK’s 2025 Eurovision act Remember Monday has announced a Manchester gig
Thomas Melia
After wowing crowds at Eurovision, UK act Remember Monday are set to play venues around the country later this year.
Lauren, Holly, and Charlotte, better known as pop-country trio Remember Monday, are heading out on a UK tour, and they’re stopping off in Manchester.
Known for their hit ‘What the Hell Just Happened?’, the girls have plenty of songs in their catalogue that they’re ready to belt out in style.
This UK trio has been dropping singles since 2019, with ‘Jailbreaker’ and ‘Hand in My Pocket’ being just a couple of them, and went on to release their second EP in October last year titled Crazy Anyway.
As well as being top tier performers, they also have some incredible song names to back it up too, like ‘Big Bottomed Girls’ and ‘What the Girl’s Bathroom is For’.
They may have finished 19 out of 26 countries at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, but they soon shook it off… quite literally, in fact, as one band member Holly lost her wedding ring, before retrieving it not long after.
This tour falls in line with a string of festival dates, including a slot at Capital’s Summertime Ball sharing the bill with Mariah Carey, Will Smith, Benson Boone, and even fellow pop princess, Tate McRae.
Remember Monday are visiting a long list of cities up and down the country on their tour, including Glasgow, Brighton, Liverpool, and Nottingham.
If you want to watch these ‘Hysterical Women’ live in action, Remember Monday are coming to Gorilla in Manchester on 27 October – with tickets available HERE.
