2015 Laneway Festival Loses One Act, Gains Another
2015 has begun with a switch-a-roo on the Laneway bill.
Due to health reasons Lykke Li is no longer able to perform. A statement from Li provided by the festival reads:
“I'm incredibly sorry to announce that I’m no longer able to play in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore for Laneway Festival. It’s been a long time coming, but unfortunately tour life has caught up with me and it’s been recommended that I take a break. I’m devastated, but know I will return. Thank you for all the support, and I sincerely hope I can make it up to you at a later date."
Li's sideshows have also been cancelled.
To combat her absence, Tkay Maidza has joined the lineup.
Laneway will go down in Melbourne on Saturday February 7 at the Footscray Community Arts Centre (FCAC) and The River’s Edge. Visit their website for ticketing details and more information.
