Queens of the Stone Age at Somerset House has been postponed. Somerset House and the bands' management are in discussion about re-scheduling the date, and an announcement will be made early next week. The rest of the Somerset House Series is unaffected at this time.

High profile gigs by Queen with Paul Rodgers and R.E.M. scheduled for July 8 and 9th at Hyde Park have been postponed until July 15 and 16 respectively.

Maceo Parker's planned final show at the Jazz Café on July 7 has been postponed until November 28.
