The duo have issued a statement.

More Chromeo More Chromeo

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.

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
