Despite telling Aussie fans last year that they were planning to come back for another tour real soon, it seems that even the best laid plans can fall by the wayside, as evidenced by the fact that LCD Soundsystem have been forced to cancel next month’s Aussie tour.

Despite being scheduled to kick off their four-date tour of Australia next month alongside Nick Murphy (aka, The Artist Formerly Known As Chet Faker), it seems that “unforeseen conflicts” are to blame for the cancellation.

“LCD Soundsystem and Frontier Touring regret to advise the cancellation of the Australia/New Zealand leg of their tour due to unforeseen conflicts,” reads a statement on the Frontier Touring website.

“The band extend their sincere apologies for the cancellation and hope to return down under soon.”

While no further information has been offered as to why the group’s shows have been cancelled, we think we speak for all their Aussie fans when we say that we hope the group can reschedule another trip back to our shores soon.

LCD Soundsystem last visited Australia in 2017 as part of the Splendour In The Grass lineup, their first visit since reforming in 2015. Soon after they returned home, they released American Dream, their fourth record, and first since 2010’s This Is Happening.
