PLANS to host Drive-In Gigs at M&Ds next month have been shelved due, it has been confirmed.

Organisers had been working to bring a unique socially-distanced concert to life for September 4 and 5 this year.

Colonel Mustard & The Dijon Mustard were booked to headline with sets coming from Tom McGuire & The Brassholes and Carly Connor.

However, with continuing uncertainty around live events in Scotland and ever-changing guidelines, organisers have moved the show to 2021.

A statement from M&Ds read: "We have taken the difficult decision to postpone the planned Drive In Gigs on 4 and 5 September.

"As the future of events is so uncertain and dates and guidelines are constantly changing, we have decided that the best course of action to ensure everyone’s safety would be to postpone these gigs to a date to be confirmed next year.

"The Friday night gig, on 4 September, was a free gig for NHS workers and we will honour these tickets when the new date is rescheduled. We would ask that everyone get in touch with their details so that we can contact you when a new date has been confirmed for 2021."

Organisers are hoping the same acts will be able to play the rescheduled show if possible.

The statement continued: "We very much hope that we will be able to bring you the same show in 2021; however, until we have a date that we know is going to be safe for the event to go ahead then we cannot guarantee the availability of the acts. We will communicate the new date and confirmed line-up in due course.

"For anyone who has purchased a ticket for Saturday 5 September, we will issue a refund and you can rebook when the new date is confirmed.

"We are really disappointed to be rescheduling but thank you for your support and understanding."

Colonel Mustard & The Dijon 5 were booked as the headline act for the September shows and have supported the decision made.

A statement from the band read: "We are gutted we have lost an opportunity to do what we love to do - play live and party with you - and sorry to see another live music event next month being cancelled in these most difficult of times for the entire music industry.

"Anything live-music-related at the moment is, obviously, very complex to organise. We think it is the most sensible and safest decision to make at this stage.

"Thank you to everyone who showed it your support. We will play live for you one day. Keep the faith."
