Slaves announce off-Dismaland show
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 8 September 2015
Slaves have announced that they will play a one-off show in Weston-super-Mare on 25 Sep, after being duped into thinking they had been booked to play Banksy’s nearby Dismaland.
The duo recently announced that they would be playing the anti-theme park as part of a series of live music shows at the venue. However, it turns out someone was pulling their leg and Pussy Riot will actually be playing when they thought they were going to be on.
In a post on Facebook, Slaves said: “We will not be playing at Dismaland on the 25 Sep. Some silly sausage pretending to be the organiser invited us to play a gig there and we naturally obliged. Turns out it wasn’t genuine. Got done, good and proper. All is not lost though… As we know many of you had made plans to pay us a visit we have decided to play our own show in Weston Super Mare that night anyway!”
Well, that’s nice. Full details of the show will be announced on the Slaves website today.
