Haim cancel all European Festival commitments

Haim have cancelled their European festival run so they can work on album two.

Writing on Facebook the band explain, "We'd hope to be done with recording but as it turns out, we're at a critical point of finishing up and need to stay close to home until it's completed. Unfortunately, we need to cancel our European performances.

"We hate to disappoint you guys that had plans to come see us and promise we'll be back in the near future to share our new music with you."

Performances affected include Way Out West, Tivoli, Oya, FM4 Frequency, Zürich Openair, Electric Picnic, and Reading and Leeds Festivals.

Here's a video to help numb the pain/pour salt in the wound.
