The Avalanches have been forced to postpone upcoming European festival dates due to Tony Di Blasi's medical condition.
The Australian comeback kings - who just released Wildflower, the follow up to 2000's Since I Left You - have been forced to postpone the dates as Di Blasi needs treatment in his homeland.
The Avalanches' appearance at Australia’s Splendour In The Grass festival this weekend will still take place. They are also scheduled to perform at Fuji Rock in Japan this weekend - that one's also going ahead.
European shows affected this summer include La Route Du Rock in France, Way Out West in Sweden, and Øya in Norway.
