Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service attended an incident this morning.
A spokesperson for the venue said:
‘We’re delighted to say Rock City has been cleared as safe to reopen. Our club night will go ahead tonight and we’ll be open as normal from tonight onwards.’
‘Unfortunately, due to the disruption earlier today, there has not been enough time for tonight’s gig to load in and soundcheck properly.
‘We never want to compromise the quality of a show, so tonight’s gig will not be going ahead as planned. We’re working with the artist’s team to reschedule the show and will update ticket holders as soon as possible with further details.
‘During planned maintenance works at Rock City this morning, as part of a major upgrade to our air handling system, a small fire occurred within part of a ventilation unit, causing smoke in the ceiling space.
‘Everyone onsite was safely evacuated, the situation was quickly brought under control, and checks have now been completed. We’re pleased to say the impact was limited and the venue is safe to reopen.
‘A huge thank you to our onsite teams and Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue for their swift response and support.’
