Animal Collective have cancelled their performance this evening. The group was slated to headline Brooklyn, NY’s Williamsburg Waterfront. Band co-founder and vocalist David “Avey Tare” Portner has come down with laryngitis. The band plans to add another New York date in the coming months to makeup for the cancellation.

According to the band:

Hey everyone

We really wish we didn’t have to be writing this right now, but after taking Dave to the doctor this morning it turns out that he has laryngitis and unfortunately we are unable to play the show tonight. We are already in the middle of trying to reschedule NY dates in the next couple of months to make up for this cancellation.

Due to circumstances beyond both our and the promoter’s control, we are unable to honor the tickets for tonight’s show. Fans that have tickets will be able to get full refunds at the place of purchase, and we will let everyone know as soon as we have new dates scheduled. Again, our sincere apologies to fans anticipating this show. We are always psyched to play NYC and will make it up to you.
