The comedy duo has just announced that they’ll be returning to Ireland in June to perform the two shows they postponed due to injury.

Ticketmaster has just released the details of the postponed Flight of the Conchords gigs which were due to go on on Sunday, 25 March and Tuesday, 3 April.

The two 3Arena shows were part of the ‘Flight of the Conchords sing Flight of the Conchords’ tour, the band’s first UK and Ireland tour in more than seven years.

The gigs were rescheduled due to Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie injuring his hand falling down the stairs. Shows in London, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, and Liverpool have also been postponed.

McKenzie took to the group’s Instagram profile last week to announce the news ahead of the upcoming gig.

“Unfortunately I’ve broken two bones in my hand today in a very rock ‘n’ roll injury – falling down some stairs,” he wrote.

“The doctors have informed me that I won’t be able to perform for several weeks. I’m sorry not to be able to do these upcoming shows but I’m looking forward to coming back and finishing the tour when I have two fully functioning hands.”

Ticketmaster have since taken to social media on Monday morning to announce the dates of the new shows. The 25 March gig has been rescheduled to 15 June and the 3 April gig will be performed on 16 June.

All tickets already purchased will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

The ticket selling site has reiterated that no exchanges in tickets are necessary. The gig is also set to go on at the 3Arena once more as originally planned.
