Super Furries Cancel Glasto & other live dates

United Kingdom | | 11 June 2002

A spokesperson for the band claims that the decision was taken because the band could not find a good enough soundman to control the band's complex live sound, after their usual man was unavailable.

Despite a stunning performance, the band's recent support slot at the big Finsbury Park New order gig was marred with sound problems, which led to at least one song coming to a crashing halt.

As well as a much anticipated Pyramid Stage outing at Glastonbury on Sunday, June 30th, the Super Furries will also miss a prestigious support slot with Red Hot Chili Peppers at Lansdowne Road in Dublin on June 25.

The band will continue working on their follow-up album to last year's 'Rings Around the World' and have no plans to play any other live shows this summer.
