BLOC Party have cancelled tonight's concert at the Newport Centre.

A statement for the band said guitarist Russell Lissack has to undergo a medical procedure which, "whilst not being serious, cannot be delayed until the end of the tour."

The statement added that "the band are unable to reschedule the date and refunds are available from point of purchase."

Bloc Party send their sincere apologies to fans and ticket holders and hope to be able to be back in Newport soon.
