Odd Future Cancel Leeds Festival Appearance

Odd Future have pulled out of their set at this year’s Leeds Festival following Tyler, The Creator’s nominations for two MTV Video Music Awards.

A statement from the band reads:

‘Odd Future would like to formally apologise to both the Leeds Festival organisers and the fans attending for having to cancel their appearance. Tyler recently achieved a lifelong dream of being nominated for two MTV VMAs - New Artist of the Year and Video of the Year. This is an extremely unique situation for a group who are devoted to their fans.

‘We have agreed to give all Leeds Festival ticket holders a pre-sale option for our next show in the north of England. Again we apologise to anyone who was looking forward to seeing them live, and will do whatever it takes to make it up to them. We look forward to having another opportunity to play Leeds Festival.’

The band will still play the Reading leg of the festival.
