Calls to three of Ireland’s main promoters from TheJournal.ie today has seen them confirm that they’re not responsible. A spokesperson from the O2 has confirmed that it’s an English company behind the gig.

Brown hasn’t announced any UK dates as part of this tour. In 2010 he was refused entry to the UK because of the Rihanna assault.

A Home Office spokesperson told TheJournal.ie that they’re unlikely to make any comment on the current status of any one individual. Back in 2010 the Home Office said that it reserved the right to “refuse entry to the UK to anyone guilty of a serious criminal offence”.

A court hearing about Brown’s community service stemming from the assault conviction was delayed this week. He’s due back in an LA court on Monday.
