FANS of X-Factor winner Alexandra Burke will be pleased to hear the star will be playing at the Regent next month.

Following the news yesterday that this Saturday’s sell-out show had been postponed the theatre has today announced a new date for the highly-anticipated gig.

The star will take to the stage on Thursday, February 24.

Yesterday the Regent were forced to cancel the star’s show this weekend as well as tomorrow’s performance by Thin Lizzy after some ornamental plasterwork was discovered on the floor of the circle.

A spokesman for the theatre said they are grateful to Alexandra, her management and promoters for rescheduling the date.

Tickets for the performance this Saturday will be valid for the February date.

Any ticket holders unable to attend on the new date should contact their point of purchase for a refund.

Any tickets returned will be made available for sale through the Regent Theatre’s box office at www.ipswichregent.com and by calling 01473 433100.
