The Breeders’ show in Vicar Street tonight has been cancelled due to hurricane Ophelia. Kim Deal and Co. had tweeted earlier today that they were en route to Ireland to play the show.

A statement from Aiken Promotions says that refunds will be available at point of purchase, but does not indicate whether or not the concert will be rescheduled.

This is an unfortunate blow for fans of The Breeders who were hoping to hear more new material from the band’s classic line-up following the release of their first new music since reforming Wait in the car, earlier this month.
