Animal Collective have cancelled their European tour, which was due to take place next month, explaining that – while preparing for the shows – they realised they were looking at “an economic reality that simply does not work and is not sustainable”.In a statement issued yesterday, the American band say: “Friends, we are absolutely gutted to announce today that we are making the decision to cancel our UK/EU dates for this November. We love playing music for you and truly wish we could be there”.Noting previous COVID-caused show cancellations earlier this year, they go on: “It has been a wild year for us trying to push through a mountain of touring obstacles related to COVID and the economy.
Three of us got bad cases of COVID [and] we were forced to cancel shows and lost large amounts of the income that sustains us and our families”.Nevertheless, “the one constant has been that we have had an incredible time playing music in front of our fans at every show. You are all amazing.
We chose to push through because we love to do it”.However, they then add, the economics of touring at the moment – and especially international touring – mean they can’t simply push on with the planned European shows. “Preparing for this tour”, they add, “we were looking at an economic reality that simply does not work and is not sustainable”.“From inflation, to currency devaluation, to bloated shipping and transportation costs, and much much more, we simply could not make a budget for this tour that did not lose money even if everything went as well as it could”, they explain.“We have always been the kind of people to persevere through the difficult times and get on stage unless our health prevented it.
