It is with great regret that today the decision has been made to cancel the forthcoming Peter Gabriel show in Kiev on 10 May.

Due to the on-going unrest in Ukraine it has become clear that the security of the touring personnel and equipment cannot be guaranteed during the planned visit to the country and this has presented us with significant logistical difficulties that we have been unable to resolve.

Any delays or damage as result of the situation in Ukraine would not be insured and would also potentially jeopardise future shows on the tour, something which we feel we also have to consider.

It was due to our desire to do everything possible in order to make the show happen that the decision to cancel the show is now being made at such late notice. It is our sincere hope that the situation is resolved in a positive and peaceful fashion and we can return to the Ukraine in the not-too-distant future .

For full details on how to receive a refund please check the promoter website http://melnitsa.org/ or send an e-mail to melnitsa.info@gmail.com.

In addition we are working with our partners and promoter to try to make contact with all those who have bought tickets for the show to give them a DVD of the Back to Front tour, we are hoping this can be in Kiev or please email us (kiev@petergabriel.com) when you get your refund with your unique reference.
