An unspecified illness within the band has forced London Grammar to reschedule their tour of Australia, which had been due to take in shows at the Festival Hall in Melbourne and the Horden Pavillion as well as a festival appearance at Splendour In The Grass.
“It’s with great sadness that we must announce the cancellation of our trip to Australia & Splendour in the Grass this week due to illness,” the band explained on Facebook. “This is an incredibly sad situation for us as our last visit was one of the most memorable of our careers, but we do not feel that we can currently deliver the level of performance that you all deserve from us.”
“Our fans in Australia have been hugely supportive of our music since the very beginning, and it pains us to have to disappoint any of you. We are going to do everything we can to make sure we are back down under as soon as possible and will reschedule our Sydney & Melbourne shows and give you more details very shortly.”
The headline shows have been re-arranged for March 2015 – ticket holders now unable to attend are being urged to seek a refund.
