Squid cancel tour dates due to member being “involved in accident” and suffering “multiple facial fractures”

Squid have cancelled their upcoming tour dates following a member of the band being involved in an accident, the band have shared in a social media statement.

Earlier today (September 3) the Brighton post-punks took to Instagram to make the announcement about upcoming shows in China and Malaysia. The band had been set to play a series of shows in the two Asian nations beginning with a set at Sonic Jam Festival in Xi’an, China, on September 8.

Describing themselves as “extremely sad” to make the announcement, Squid explained that “one of us was involved in an accident and has multiple facial fractures.” They said they were told it would be unsafe for the unnamed band member to fly, and that while they had looked into getting a replacement to fill in, “the nature of our music means that this is very difficult to arrange at a few days’ notice, and we would be unable to procure the necessary work permits in time.”

They continued, “We were massively looking forward to playing in these new cities and meeting our fans who have been so supportive, and this outcome is very disappointing to us all. We will work to come back and play these shows as soon as we can.”

Over the summer, Squid played a series of shows across the UK, Europe and South America, including a set at Glastonbury 2024. They also played North America earlier this year to tour their second album, ‘O Monolith’, which was released in June 2023.

NME gave the album a four-star review, calling it “a monument to daring artistic growth” and saying, “If Squid can make daring, experimental music sound as fun as this, then they will take some stopping.”

In January, they released another track, ‘Fugue (Bin Song)’, an outtake from the album which had been a live staple of the band for some time.
