For the second time this year, Animal Collective have announced they are canceling tour dates due to illness, and now it’s causing them to miss such festivals as this weekend’s Camp Bisco.
In March the band canceled dates with Dan Deacon after frontman Avery Tare came down with severe strep throat. Now Animal Collective is stating illness has once again caused them to cancel upcoming dates, but only for the rest of their stops in July.
The band has released the following statement to their fans:
Due to illness, we will unfortunately not be able to perform our upcoming July tour dates, including the Camp Bisco and Forecastle festivals. We deeply apologize and tried our best to make it work with an alternate set, but ultimately we didn’t feel like we were giving fans what they deserved from an Animal Collective show. We are working on rescheduling the non-festival dates as soon as possible. Again we send our sincerest apologies to fans anticipating these shows, especially considering the cancellations earlier this year.
Here’s a look at the tour that would’ve been, and what’s still planned for the group this fall, as they make stops with Dan Deacon and Chairlift:
