“I was looking forward to visiting Australia this year,” said Hynes in a statement. “Unfortunately due to personal and family matters, and after much consideration, I’ve decided to cancel these shows to spend time with my family. Sending love in the new year.”
Sugar Mountain has quickly announced the addition of four acts to their bill as a replacement for Hynes. These include The Avalanches – who were also this week announced on the lineups for US festivals Coachella and The Governors Ball – Spank Rock, Young Tapz and Habits.
