AJ Maddah confirms the cancellation

Nebraskan post-hardcore outfit Desaparecidos have cancelled their upcoming visit to Australia for Soundwave Festival.

The band, led by Bright Eyes frontman Connor Oberst, have had to pull out of the tour due to "an issue of personal nature", said Soundwave promoter AJ Maddah, who confirmed the news on Twitter overnight.

Desaparecidos were meant to visit Australia last November for the Harvest Festival, which was cancelled.
