Clean Bandit have replaced London Grammar on the bill at Hungary's Sziget which takes place on an island in the Danube, Budapest, Hungary from Monday 11th to Monday 18th August 2014.

Sziget organisers say they received the following from the management of London Grammar:

“"We are very sorry to announce that we will not be performing at Sziget Festival as billed. Due to a lengthy touring schedule over the last year and a half, Hannah has suffered with vocal fatigue which has forced us to cancel, at last minute, a number of recent shows.

In order to maintain Hannah's voice and all of our well being, we have made the decision to withdraw from some of our upcoming festival performances.

We are truly sorry for any inconvenience this causes and regret any disappointment of both our fans and festival organisers. Nevertheless we feel that our decision to reduce our workload is of great importance at this time. We hope you can understand and forgive us for the cancellation."

The London trio have also pulled out of Lowlands, although it's not yet known which other upcoming festival performances have also been shelved by the band who are set to appear at Wilderness, Popaganda (Sweden), Electric Picnic (Ireland), Bestival, Festival Number 6, and Unknown Festival (Croatia).
