The bad news for Q-Tip fans is that his forthcoming European tour – including a July 7 Dublin date - has been cancelled.

According to promoters, the Tipster is holed up the studio putting the finishing touches on his Open album. Although a release date for the album is yet to be confirmed, the former Tribe Called Quest MC is hoping to reschedule his European tour "later in the year".

Full ticket refunds for the Ambassador gig are available from the point of purchase.
