Mystery Jets Cancel Festival Shows

Mystery Jets have been forced to cancel several festival dates as frontman and vocalist Blaine Harrison battles illness.

Harrison, who suffers from Spina Bifida, is receiving treatment in hospital for a recurring injury relating to his illness. Thankfully, Harrison is on the mend, but the treatment means the Jets will miss several festivals in Europe and the U.K.

Reading/Leeds Festival-goers will rejoice that as of now, their participation is firmly pencilled in.
