Deftones have just announced that they’ve had to cancel tonight’s set at Glastonbury.

In a statement on their social media stories, the band reveal that this is down to “an illness in the band”, and they share that they’re “devastated to be missing out on something we’ve been looking to for months, but sometimes circumstances out of our control interfere with things we want to do the most”.

Deftones add that they “plan” on still seeing everyone in London tomorrow (June 29) for their Crystal Palace Park headline show.

“In an unfortunate development, an illness in the band is going to prevent us from playing Glastonbury tonight.

We really hope to return to Glastonbury soon, and as it currently stands, we plan on seeing you tomorrow at Crystal Palace.”
