The Ting Tings Cancel Las Vegas Concert

Posted on October 15, 2008 by popdirt

updated fans on their blog at MySpace on Tuesday (October 14), revealing they had to scrap their concert at Jillians in Las Vegas on Thursday. They write:

Hello.

Really sorry to do this to you but we are going to have to miss the Las Vegas gig. We are supposed to be filming the ‘That’s Not My Name’ vid tomorrow. In LA. In the woods. Only problem is loads of the countryside is burning and its a bit too close to comfort from our filming location…. which means the vid may have to be shot somewhere else on our Las Vegas gig day.

We still get to come to Las Vegas at some point as we are filming the fruit machine vid for the UK.

Anyway, we are in LA, it smells a bit smokey and we go onstage in about an hour at the Wiltern Theatre. Jet Lags sh**. Everything else is goooood.
