Fontaines DC have cancelled some of their upcoming festival appearances due to "health issues"

The Irish group issued a statement last Friday (19 July) revealing that they'll no longer be performing at Paléo Festival, Truck Festival, Deer Shed, Y Not, and Thing Festival.

Fontaines DC wrote, "This message is difficult to communicate to all of you. Due to health issues we find ourselves in the uncomfortable position of having to cancel the following festivals."

They added, "We want to make sure that everyone knows that performing is one of the most important and fulfilling parts of all of our lives, and so we will do all in our power to ensure that none of our tours are affected by this."

This is a very difficult statement to put out.
We hope you understand and know how grateful we are to all of you who have supported this band in one way or another.

Love,
