A MAJOR American popstar has cancelled her Glasgow OVO Hydro show.
Janet Jackson was supposed to play at the popular venue on October 13, however, due to unforeseen scheduling difficulties, it has now been scrapped.
The Hydro have emailed ticket-holders this afternoon to inform them of the cancellation and to say that a refund will be issued.
The email reads: "The event organiser has been in touch to let us know that due to unforeseen scheduling difficulties the show on October 13, 2024 has been cancelled.
"We’re issuing a refund for your booking - so you don't need to do a thing. You'll see a credit onto the method of payment you used within 15 days.
"If you sold your tickets through Ticketmaster and haven't already received payment, your sale will not go ahead - you will be refunded the cost of your original booking instead."
Jackson's concert has also been removed from the OVO Hydro's website.
People who were due to attend the show were quick to take to X to share their anger and disappointment.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
