 Sleater-Kinney | Due to a serious medical emergency, Sleater-Kinney (*) have had to postpone their two-week European tour, which was slated to begin on November 8. Guitarist/singer Carrie Brownstein was admitted to the hospital twice with severe allergic reactions and has to take tests to find out what exactly caused them. "[Brownstein's] doctor has advised that she not travel/tour for prolonged periods of time until the condition stabilizes and further tests are conducted," the band said in a statement. "The band apologizes to all the people that this cancellation affects." |
Sleater-Kinney are still slated to perform at the Big Day Out festival in Australia, which takes place in early 2006. They're also curating part of the second weekend of the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in the U.K., which takes place from May 19-21.
The cancellation comes as bad news to two Canadian Sub Pop groups: Constantines and Wolf Parade.
The Cons were scheduled to perform five dates in the U.K. with S-K at the beginning of the tour. They're still heading to the U.K., instead playing a series of headlining shows. Wolf Parade were supposed to play four dates in Germany and France with the Portland trio. They'll still play a series of dates in Germany, but their date in Paris has not been rescheduled as of yet.
