Swn Festival which takes place at various venues throughout Cardiff between 17th -20th October, today announced that Deerhunter have cancelled their forthcoming European tour and consequently their Friday night Sŵn Festival slot.

The festival also revealed that they will no longer be using Solus as a Sŵn Festival venue for 2013, but hope to return there next year. Maybe with Deerhunter, eh?! We’re doing our best to accommodate the supporting acts on that line up (Bo Ningen & Pinkunoizu) into alternative festival slots on the Friday night. Unfortunately Verity Susman, Deerhunter’s tour support, is unable to play and we’ll hopefully have her back in 2014.

If you bought a standalone Deerhunter ticket, please contact your point of purchase for a refund. 

Other cancellations: Amateur Best, Danny Byrd, Spectrals, The Lay Lows, Verity Susman
