ALL performances at the Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) up to and including Sunday, April 26, have been rescheduled because of the coronavirus.

"We know some acts have already made announcements on their social media channels and we are contacting ticket holders as quickly as we can with further information," said a BIC spokesman. "Due to the high number of events, this is taking a little time to get through so please bear with us."

Staff say all tickets remain valid for rescheduled performances and should any event be cancelled completely, they will also be in touch.

The spokesman said: "Our box offices in the venues are temporarily closed while we deal with the high volume of enquiries and we ask patrons not to call the venue directly during this time

"The health and welfare of our customers, staff and their families remain our highest priority.

"We continue to monitor the situation on a week by week basis and we’ll be in touch with ticket holders when we have information about changes to upcoming events.

"We look forward to reopening again as soon as possible and thank you for your continued support and patience at this time."
