Mogwai have been forced to cancel a gig they were due to play in Glasgow this evening, because drummer Martin Bulloch has developed a severe case of tendonitis. The band will also be forced to cancel a second date in Russia this weekend, as Bulloch has been advised to cancel all gigs until his condition improves.
The show was scheduled to mark the opening event of Glasgow's new ABC venue, and rather than pull the show all together, tickets for the gig will be valid for a new opening which says it will be the "closest thing to a Mogwai gig without them actually being there", and will feature sets from Mogwai favourites Trout as well as Errors, who are signed to the band's Rock Action label. Tickets used to gain entry to this event will also be valid for the rescheduled Mogwai date as and when it happens.
