[POSTPONED] Sugarhill Gang & Furious Five - sold out
Sugarhill Gang + Furious Five
POSTPONED
We have just been in contact with the Sugarhill Gang team today (1st September 2022). The band were expected to fly in this week and begin a period of touring. Tunbridge Wells was the first date.
As you know the DJ in the group had to commit to some last minute surgery and fly back to New York in the summer.
Unfortunately, he has not recovered to a point where they believe he is fit for travel... so they are postponing the dates.
We have been trying to sort the new date all day and will message you all as soon as we have that but for now, we just wanted to inform you that the show will not be happening this weekend. We are sorry about this and. hope you can join us for the new date.
Ultimately after the previous couple of years and the age of some members in the gang, the main priority is their health and we wish their DJ a speedy recovery. We will be in touch very soon with a new date.
Thanks for your support and patience. The Forum

Hello everyone.
Sorry for the bad news but we have had word from the Sugarhill Gang camp that one of the group is unwell and needs to go into hospital this month for some last minute surgery. We wish him a speedy recovery. This does unfortunately mean that the date on June 23rd can no longer go ahead.
The show WILL go on though and the new date for this will be Friday 2nd September. All tickets remain valid. Thanks for your understanding.
A message from Sugarhill Gang below.
Unfortunately we will have to postpone our date with you on June 23rd. Our DJ is not well and has to have surgery that week. Thank you for your understanding .....
Sincerely , Henry (aka) HenDogg The Sugar Hill Gang
