However, they told ticket-holders that they would be e-mailed the location of a third venue where the show would go ahead.with a microphone and speakers, with a crowd gathering to watch the show go ahead.and the other acts will do the gig on a small stage outside the Scottish parliament at Holyrood at 7:30pm
