Jedward Not Playing UCD Ball 22/4???

[fynn57]

I have just read this for those attending the UCD Ball tomorrow. Apparently Jedward will not be playing. The article also mentions Castlebar.

Sounds a bit strange? Anyone else heard that they had cancelled?

that makes no sense whatsoever. it says in that article that they can't make it because of air travel restrictions? but aren't they already in Ireland? i'm so confused :S

I'm glad this is not happening. They would have been pelted. And yes the article doesn't make sense cos they're here.

I was just told that they were gocarting in Ireland today. Very strange perhaps we will hear more later.

Edit: Maybe they cancelled over security fears?

seems like that's the case, if people were going to pelt them obviously their management felt it wasn't worth risking them playing it in case someone got hurt.

Ahh this is poxy! Yeah there were some ppl threatening to egg them but alot of us DID want to see them.. So so lucky I'm in love with Calvin Harris, otherwise I'd be askin for me money back ¬_¬

I am actually relieved for this. Sadly the ignorant people have to ruin it for everyone. Playing infront of some obnoxious drunk college students who think they are cool is not the place for them to be. I feel bad for the people who wanted to see them though. Sorry it was ruined by losers.

I'm glad they're not doing this. It's not the right crowd. It's at the point where they should be playing to their own fans and there were some people who were planning to ruin this for everyone else.
Regional flights are back to normal so they could've easily flown to castlebar in time for the other gig. They probably cancelled it because of a possible threat to them from some idiots...

[ilikeicecream]

The airspace is free of the ash so they would've had no problem flying here, it's just an excuse, couldn't blame them really I wouldn't wanna play for people who are just gunna take the piss
Then again, it was a thick idea booking it in the first place, two gigs in one day either side of the country..
Ah well, I'll wear my jed-head and run onstage during calvin harris.. joke

[jadehill2001]

Likely cancelled due to the threats being made

[Kolakube]

Unless they were planning to fly from their tour gig to the UCD gig and can't cos they're prioritising certain flights in the airspace??

Gutting for the people that DID want to see them though

Its probably a good thing for the people going to see them in Castlebar tonight because if something would have happened in UCD they might not be in the best of form for the gig later.

Okay they're fair lucky they didn't play it last night. If they were planned for kinda earlish they would've been graaaaaand but towards the end they would've been in serious trouble. People were throwin shit on the stage for ageees & no1 was even playin! The Garda were goin mad sayin if everyone doesnt stop the stage would be closed off early..
But there were a few I love Jedward tops floatin about & Mundy even mentioned them! He was askin where Jedward were & some people booed & he was like "Theyr my best friends leave them alone" and all..
