The Presets Join Splendour 2018 Line-up Following Chromeo Cancellation

Canadian duo Chromeo have today cancelled their Splendour In The Grass appearance and Australian headline shows this month due to health reasons. 

As well as the Splendour set, the electro-funk act were scheduled to perform in Melbourne and Sydney that weekend. 

"It's been so long since we’ve visited you last and we were so excited to play for you," a statement issued by Chromeo reads.

"Unfortunately, the rigors of our touring schedule have caught up with us and we need to prioritize our health and well being. We're being told that this period would be best served as a time to rest. This was not an easy call to make. We hope you understand.

"Please know that we're doing everything we can to reschedule our time in Australia."

See the full statement below. 

Ticketholders are being advised that refunds to the headline shows will be refunded in the coming days. Anyone who purchased tickets through an outlet are advised to return to the place of purchase for a full refund.

In their place, Australia's own The Presets will join the Splendour 2018 line-up; click on theGuide for more details.

To our funkateers & chromettes in Australia,

We are truly sorry to announce that our upcoming July shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Splendour In The Grass have been canceled. It's been so long since we’ve visited you last and we were so excited to play for you. Unfortunately, the rigors of our touring schedule have caught up with us and we need to prioritize our health and well being. We're being told that this period would be best served as a time to rest. This was not an easy call to make. We hope you understand. Please know that we're doing everything we can to reschedule our time in Australia. We will see you all soon.

Lots of love,

Dave and Pee
