I saw them live here in San Francisco with Elizabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins and it was amazing.

Love their vibe. I’d love it if Hope Sandoval joined them, but I know she’s very shy and hates performing.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's for health reasons. iirc they had to cancel their dates (including their headlining set at Primavera) a couple years ago across europe due to members' health issues.

If you have a chance to see them, absolutely do it! I saw them this summer and they are brilliant. Plus you gotta love their unwavering support for Palestine since the 90s (before anyone tries, they witnessed the apartheid state themselves back in the 90s and all of their Black band members experienced racism in israhell). Unfinished Sympathy and Angel are somehow even better live.

tbh I wouldn't be mad if it was for political reasons they were cancelling, because imo the US deserves to be boycotted by artists as much as Israel.

I feel awful for everyone who had tickets but better for me for not having FOMO

I selfishly thought the same, lol.

like I wanted to see them SO BAD but the nearest show to me was Miami and UGH at going to a festival. I am feeble!

if it were Portishead I would have suffered through anything and been devastated right now, thank god lol

i live here and honestly the youtube ads for that festival KEPT me from buying a ticket

[peddlestools]

that sucks but also i am so glad i did not buy tickets to iii points because they were the only reason i was tempted but i did not want to be surrounded by EDM people
