In a statement, the company said: “Due to an ongoing external safety concern around the perimeter of our event arena at Clifton Downs, we have unfortunately been forced to cancel the remainder of our Bristol shows this weekend, with immediate effect.
“The safety of our customers and staff is of the highest priority to us and the situation leaves us with no option but to cancel all shows to assure everyone involved is kept safe.
“All ticket holders will of course be refunded in full automatically, so there is no need to request a refund.
“It is with great sadness that we have to make this decision and we are extremely sorry for the huge inconvenience and disappointment this will cause but hope you will understand the difficult position that we are in.
“We are very sorry to have to cancel. This is a safety issue outside of our event area and nothing to do with our event but I’m sure you can understand that we must keep yourselves and our staff safe and have to react to the ongoing situation.”
