Falls Festival and Field Day 2017 without MØ

MØ has pulled out of her Australian tour, just days before she was scheduled to perform at Falls Festival.

The Danish star – who was last in Australia in 2015 for Splendour In The Grass – was struck down with pneumonia over Christmas and hasn’t been able to recover in time. It follows news that Childish Gambino had cancelled his appearance at the Fremantle leg of Falls Festival due to a clash with the Golden Globe awards.

MØ was scheduled to play Falls in Lorne, Byron Bay, Marion Bay and Fremantle; Field Day in Sydney; and club dates at The Metro in Sydney and 170 Russell in Melbourne.

“I’m crazy fucking upset to be missing the festivals and shows + devastated to let down the people who had been looking forward to my performance. These things suck so bad,” she wrote to her fans on Facebook.

Sydney producer Golden Features has already been announced as MØ’s replacement at Falls, while Field Day is expected to announce a replacement act soon.

MØ’s statement in full:

;-( Sadly due to illness I am unable to fly to Australia and perform at Falls Festival. Over Christmas I was struck with pneumonia, and doctor’s orders are that I don’t go on a long flight like that and that I remain home to recover. I’m crazy fucking upset to be missing the festivals and shows + devastated to let down the people who had been looking forward to my performance. These things suck so bad.

It makes me very, very sad tho, coz cancelling is the worst thing and 1 of my new years resolutions last year was to not cancel any shows in 2016….. I’m gonna try again in 2017! I love u Oz and I’m so, so sorry. I hope u can forgive me and I’m gonna make up for it I promise! x MØ
