Talking of gigs that aren't happening, LCD Soundsystem have pulled out of this weekend's Voodoofest, which is taking place in the slowly recovering city of New Orleans. In a statement of their website, the band apologise for having to pull out, and wish both the festival and the city well.
The statement reads: "LCD very much regrets not being able to perform at Voodoofest this coming weekend. The event is something we very much believe in and support. Due to all of its evolutions and challenges in actually happening - acts of God; government; moving cities, States, and venues numerous times; and, thank goodness, actually coming together at the very last moment; LCD is unable to attend and perform, as they would like to. LCD supports the event and all of the people it is meant to help in their time of trouble and rebuilding. We wish all health, quick new homes where needed, and a return to a place of friends, family and being whole."
