Irish singer CMAT has postponed her October UK tour dates after requiring surgery for a dental emergency. The 29-year-old, real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, was due to perform at London's O2 Academy Brixton on 10 October but has been forced to reschedule.
In a statement on Instagram, CMAT said she was 'devastated' to cancel the dates in order to remove an infected wisdom tooth. 'I woke up today with a throbbing pain in my jaw and booked an emergency visit with my dentist,' she wrote. 'He has booked me in for surgery to remove both lower wisdom teeth next week and given me antibiotics.'
The BRIT Award nominee added that recovery would take two weeks, with a further short period to return to full health. 'We are working to reschedule dates and will provide information as soon as possible. Your ticket will be valid for the rescheduled dates,' she said, advising fans who cannot attend to seek refunds.
CMAT apologised to fans who had made travel plans, saying she 'can't even open my mouth wide enough to laugh let alone sing'. She ended by saying she is in 'so much pain' but is looking forward to making it up to fans in the near future.
The new dates for 2025 have been announced, with tickets valid for the rescheduled shows. CMAT performed at Glastonbury in June and is set to appear at Coachella in 2025.
