The group spotted cracks in the ceiling of the Grade II listed Empress Ballroom during a soundcheck for the live set.
Chunks of plaster were seen falling on to the venue floor, leaving "no possibility that the show could risk going ahead", Gigwise reports.
The band apologised to fans and spent four hours holding a meet-and-greet session with the 1,500-strong audience.
The live show is expected to be rescheduled in the near future and original tickets will remain valid.
The gig was scheduled to mark the start of the UK leg of Enter Shikari's European tour.
