Singer Adam Ant had to call off a gig in Liverpool due to illness.
He was due to perform at the Philharmonic Hall earlier, but postponed because of an “inflamed throat”.
While the venue had posted on its website to say “all ticket holders will be contacted with further information”, some fans arrived expecting the concert to go ahead.
Gigs in Cambridge, Southend, Bournemouth, Birmingham, and Guildford have also been shelved on the day since 18 October.
