Thursday have cancelled their upcoming appearance at 2000trees Festival.
The post-hardcore legends were set to return to the UK in July, but have sadly announced that they can no longer make it.
In a statement, Thursday shared:
“Thursday loves the UK and are very proud of the fact that one of our members carries a British passport. Another practically lives in London. When we were asked to perform at 2000trees and realised that we were going to play with many old friends whom we have shared many road miles with (what’s up Bronx / A3 / Pup) we got very excited.
“Unfortunately, it has now come to pass that we have to cancel our appearance. Life in a band involves being away from home for extended periods of time but sometimes there are circumstances where being home outweighs professional commitments. This is one of them. It was a terrible decision to have to make but a contingent of Thursday needs to be home in July. We are heartbroken for anyone who has been inconvenienced by this.
“All we can say is that we will do everything in our power to make it up. U.K and European shows are high on our priority list. We are blessed that our music has found its way around the world, and we know that music is some people’s only way of connecting with the world. This is not something we take for granted. We have 8 shows intermittently placed around the United States between June, August, September and October. These remain unaffected and plans are afoot to create a special merch item in order to make a donation to Nordoff and Robbins in the U.K. If we cannot contribute to the vibrant musical landscape of the United Kingdom in person, we can in spirit.
“We are sorry Trees and we are sorry to everyone affected by this. We will return to the U.K and we love and miss you profusely. Thursday.”
As one of the most requested bands of the festival for the last few years, 2000trees have promised that they are already working on brining Thursday back to Upcote Farm.
They have also confirmed that Thursday’s replacement will be announced ASAP.
2000trees will take place between July 8-11 at Upcote Farm, Cheltenham. The likes of Neck Deep, Funeral For A Friend, Arcane Roots, Cancer Bats, Glasjaw, High Vis, As Everything Unfolds, Sunny Day Real Estate, Mouth Culture, Mallory Knox, The Xcerts and so many more incredible bands will be playing.
Tickets are available at 2000trees.co.uk.
