Yard Act have been forced to cancel tonight’s Newcastle show.
Writing on Twitter, frontman James Smith explains: “I’m gutted to say we have to cancel tonight. I’ve been battling a sickness bug since Sunday. Was hunkered down in the hopes I would’ve shaken it by now, but I still can’t move an inch without running to the toilet. I’m gutted.”
“I hate cancelling shows, I’m so sorry. We are working on a reschedule if you hold tight or you can get a refund from point of purchase too. Hoping we will be able to be back on the road for Edinburgh tomorrow but right now I need to stay in bed shaking and depressed.”

Yard Act dropped their debut album ‘The Overload’ earlier this year, hitting Number 2 in the UK albums chart.
At the weekend, they played a homecoming show at Leeds’ Brudenell Social Club, where they teamed up with support act Baba Ali to perform a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘Daft Punk Is Playing At My House’. You can check that out here.
