TONIGHT’S show by indie band The Enemy at the O2 Academy Bournemouth has been postponed due to illness.

Customers are advised to retain their tickets as a new date will be announced shortly, but any ticket holders who wish to obtain a refund can do so from their point of purchase. The show was to also feature performances by bands The Twang and JAWS.

A spokesman for The Enemy said: “We’re really sorry but we are going to have to postpone the Bournemouth show for The Enemy and The Twangs Christmas tour. Andy from The Enemy has terrible food poisoning and the doctor has ordered complete rest for the next 24 hours.

"Both bands have been having a great time on the road and want the fans to see the whole package so rather than just one band turn up, we want to postpone the show for a new date to be announced. See you next year. Merry Christmas.”

After three top 10 albums, of which The Enemy's debut We'll Live and Die in These Towns shot straight to number one in the UK album charts (2007) and numerous chart single successes, The Enemy have ripened into something special.

Three young musicians who are in it for their love of music, their latest mini-EP Magic is their first new material in over two years as they head towards releasing album number four.
