The latest news on the website for Serbia's Exit festival (here) is the news that M.I.A. has cancelled the whole of her European tour just days before the tour was due to begin. The Latitude festival has also now confirmed that M.I.A. will not be playing.
The website says:
The cancellation of her European tour, was announced by M.I.A. herself in the middle of a performance in New York, more specifically in the middle of her song 'People vs. Money', thus this year fans in Spain, Norway, Ireland, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium and Exit in Serbia will not have the chance to see or hear her.
Confirmation or explanation for cancelling the tour has not even (as yet) been announced on her official website nor on the myspace page of the British artist.
The Exit Festival has already taken steps in finding a suitable replacement, which we will inform you about as soon as possible.
The news means that M.I.A. would not be performing at Roskilde, Open'er, and possibly other festivals this year as well, although these festivals have not yet confirmed her cancellation.
