American rapper cancels rescheduled Leeds gig AGAIN due to ‘ongoing illness’

Clementine Hall - 7th July 2026

Action Bronson cancels Leeds gig for a second time, and it's safe to say fans aren't happy.

Ariyan Arslani, better known by his stage name Action Bronson, is an American rapper, chef and TV personality with a huge following.

The star was meant to perform at Project House last Tuesday 30 June but the show was cancelled the morning of, and subsequently the venue released an updated date of Tuesday 7 July.

It seems fans of Bronson may be experiencing some deja vu, as the gig has yet again been cancelled with short notice.

Except this time, no rescheduled date has been given.

The statement by Project House reads: "We have been informed by Action Bronson's team that regrettably, due to an ongoing illness he will be unable to perform at Project House this evening.

"We're incredibly sorry to be cancelling at such short notice. We had hoped last week's postponements would allow for sufficient recovery time but sadly, that has not been the case. Action is as disappointed as we are and we'd like to wish him all the best. Refunds will be issued from the point of purchase."

And it's fair to say the comments are...interesting, with fans far from happy about a second cancellation.

One comment reads: "Well enough to play two shows in London and one in the Netherlands, but just can’t seem to shake a cold to get to Leeds."

Whilst another disappointed fan commented: "He’s not ill guys! Obviously not a knock on the lovely folks at project house, but that’s a bullshit reason he and his team have come up with for insurance purposes!"

‘This Yorkshire city has it all’ – Leeds crowned as one of the UK’s most underrated city breaks

Clementine Hall

Leeds has been named as one of the most underrated city breaks in the UK by Time Out.

It's time to cancel your city break to London, Edinburgh or wherever you think the grass is greener...because Leeds is now the place to beat.

A new article by Time Out has crowned Leeds as one of the most underrated locations for a UK city break, and we couldn't agree more.

The article praises Leeds for it's fabulous independent music venues, sprawling green spaces and standout restaurants.

In fact, they perfectly paint out how your city break in Leeds could look. From seeing a gig at the Brudenell Social Club and enjoying dinner at the critically acclaimed Highland Laddie, to drinking at The Domino Club and exploring the 700-acre fields of Roundhay Park.

But don't just take our word for it, here's what the piece had to say about our wonderful city: "Anyone who has ever lived in Leeds already knows its brilliance. From unrivalled independent music venues to sprawling green spaces to quietly outstanding restaurants, this Yorkshire city has it all.

"But outside of God’s Own County, it’s not necessarily the first place people think of when planning a UK day trip or staycation...For starters, it’s the home of Brudenell Social Club, which Time Out recently crowned the greatest live music venue in the entire UK.

"Leeds’ food scene is something to behold, too. Bavette, with its perfectly prepared French fare, is Time Out’s favourite restaurant there (it recently earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its excellent value), closely followed by the uber-cool Empire Cafe, the wondrous Ox Club and the intimate Sushi Nakamura."

We agree with absolutely everything being said, and it's got us craving a city break in our very own city. You can read the full article here.
