Coronavirus: Doncaster Dome cancels all shows and events until end of June

The Doncaster venue announced this morning that all events due to take place at the venue from today onwards would now be rescheduled because of the COVID-19 crisis.

It includes a hometown concert by Doncaster’s Louis Tomlinson and dates by comedians Jimmy Carr, Tim Vine and Roy ‘Chubby’ Brown as well as a host of other events.

Chris Hone, head of commercial development for Doncaster Culture and Leisure Trust (DCLT), said “Following official advice from the Government all music and entertainment events due to take place at Doncaster Dome will be rescheduled from today until the end of June.

“We are working with promoters and will contact all ticket holders in due course to inform them of the rescheduled dates. If customers are unable to make the rescheduled dates, our team will be able to talk through the options in respect of transferring tickets or processing refunds.

“We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but these are unprecedented times and for the safety of our staff and customers we must follow the advice from Central Government.”
