Unfortunately this means that the show we have planned for October 3rd will not now go ahead in the venue. We are in the process of seeking to reschedule the show, and should we do so, all tickets will remain valid for the new date. If we are unable to find a suitable replacement, tickets will be refunded at point of purchase. More news soon. 2010-09-01T15:22:11+00:00 http://www.omd.uk.com/omd/story/behind_the_scenes_at_planet_rock http://www.omd.uk.com/omd/story/behind_the_scenes_at_planet_rock Check out Luke's blog to see what happened when Luke and Pete visited Planet Rock last week.
