Tickets have now sold out for Jax Jones' free gigs
He's performing in Belfast and Manchester
Last updated 24th Apr 2024
Earlier this month, 'Never Be Lonely' DJ Jax Jones delighted fans by announcing a FREE gig in Newcastle, which sold out in just one minute, but sadly he had to postpone it due to the flooding in Dubai.
Since then, Jax has announced three other free gigs, in Liverpool, Belfast and Manchester, with tickets selling out very quickly.
Why was the Newcastle gig postponed?
The DJ took to Instagram to share an update with his fans, where he explained the situation, which included his young family being stranded in the airport for 18 hours, saying: "Right guys, we've got a situation and it's bad news regarding the pop up in Newcastle this weekend. I'm going to have to postpone the date.
"Let me tell you why... I was flying back from Bangkok via Dubai and when we landed we were hit with crazy flooding, which you've probably been seeing on the news, and alright, flooding in Dubai... must be kidding bro! Listen, I've seen cars floating down the streets, plans grounded, thousands of people stranded in the airport, including me and family.
"We didn't have a hotel to get to as it was surrounded by water and I have a one-year-old and a three-year-old daughter, we were stuck in that airport for 18 hours with nowhere to sleep. It's just not our finest hour.
"The airport is still chaos, but I'm grateful we're safe now and I've managed to find a different route home from another airport tomorrow. I'll still be at the Liverpool show but I just won't make it back in time for the Newcastle show. I'm gutted and I'm really sorry it's like this. Honestly, the energy from you guys has been incredible. It's got me so excited to be playing shows again, so I thank you, please be patient.
"I'm going to reschedule it and hopefully we can just run it in a couple of weeks with the same line-ups. I'm checking with them now. We can't let a little bit of rain stop us from throwing this party. I'll update you when I have more news. so keep an eye on my page or sign up to my mailing list, but for now I'm sorry to do this, I'm literally stranded in Dubai."
