Covid forces Chemical Brothers to cancel Glastonbury appearance in wake of Cork gig

After cancelling the concert at Musgrave Park on Thursday, the Chemical Brothers have also announced they won't be able to play a planned DJ set at Glastonbury on Friday 

The Chemical Brothers were due to play Musgrave Park in Cork on Thursday, and Glastonbury on Friday. 

The Chemical Brothers had cancelled their gig at Musgrave Park in Cork on Thursday due to "multiple cases" of Covid in their camp, and on Friday confirmed they wouldn't make it to Glastonbury either. Among those suffering from the virus is Tom Rowlands, one half of the UK electronic music duo, alongside Ed Simons. 

A statement from organisers MCD and the group themselves on social media on Wednesday evening confirmed that the Cork gig would not go ahead.  On Thursday, the band released another statement apologising for the cancellation and confirming that Covid was the cause.
