Days after Swedish electro popper Robyn pulled out of her collab tour of Australia with Röyksopp, the Norwegian duo have announced their intention to cancel their visit as well. 

Promoters of the Falls Festival and Southbound have posted a statement from the act on their Facebook page: "We are very sorry to have to let you know that we will not be able to come to Australia and Japan for our scheduled performances with Robyn.

"We have looked into possibilities to put together our own show in lieu of Robyn & Röyksopp performances but unfortunately are unable to produce this in time.

"We are currently working on alternatives to come later next year with our own Röyksopp show."
