CIAN Ducrot is performing a shock pop-up concert with a flash mob choir at a popular Dublin attraction.

The All For You star became the first ever artist to give a multi-city portal performance.

The Cork native, who recently sold-out a headline show to 20,000 fans at Dublin's St. Anne's Park, surprised passers-by with an incredible performance that began at 3.15pm today at the Dublin Portal, North Earl Street, Dublin 1.

This is an official performance in conjunction with the worldwide Portals teams and is a global first and it will be live streamed in New York in the United States of America, Vilnius in Lithuania and Lublin in Poland.

Cian shared some secret hints with his Instagram followers before heading into the city.

The 26-year-old posed for a sneaky selfie and said: "After two. Before four. Next to a tall spike shape."

The singer then decided to tell everyone his plans 30 minutes before his set started.

He wrote: "Okay big surprise... I'm doing a pop-up show at the Dublin portal today."

A Devastating Cancellation

The fast-rising star was set to perform at Margam Country Park in Wales last week.

Concertgoers who attended the event saw acts such as ADMT and Lovely Laura and Ben Santiago perform.

However, when the final and main act was set to take to the stage fans were left disappointed as they were told it was "unsafe and impossible" for him to do so.

In a statement shared to his Instagram, Ducrot revealed he was "absolutely devastated".

The 26-year-old said: "To all my amazing fans, I've never been so upset and I've never experienced something so heartbreaking in my career.

"I want to address the cancellation of tonight's show because I understand how much, just like me, so many of you were looking forward to it.

"Nothing breaks my heart more than to be told I can't go on stage, after all my fans showing up and waiting hours in the rain for the show.

"All I wanted to do was come out. I'm absolutely devastated."

Explaining the situation in further detail, Ducrot told how the safety of his fans and crew is his "top priority".

He added: "Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, the stage conditions and weather made it unsafe and impossible for us to proceed safely.

"Our gear has been damaged and completely ruined by the water fall.

"And while the team have been monitoring the situation closely since the early hours of this morning, and we were hoping things would be resolved, it became clear that continuing with the show would put everyone at risk.

"The safety of my fans, crew, and everyone involved is always my top priority.

"I am so so so sorry for the disappointment, and the last thing I ever want is to be told I can't step out on stage and give the performance I have been so excited to give, but I hope you understand that yours and everyone's safety must come first.

"Thank you for your understanding, your patience, and for always being such incredible fans.

"I truly cannot express how heartbroken I am... to those of you I was able to see in the car park afterwards thank you for your time and kindness.

"I can't wait to see you all soon, under safer and better circumstances."
