Scottish band Belle and Sebastian have dropped out of September’s CityFolk festival in Ottawa, saying that they are taking time off from touring to focus on recording.
This will no doubt be disappointing to fans of the band, whose jangly, British indie-rock sound (think Oasis mixed with The Band) had earned them something of a cult following; the band had always garnered more critical praise than commercial appeal. Belle and Sebastian were one of the major draws of the festival, and were slated to perform alongside Irish folksinger Hozier on Saturday, September 15.
Ani DiFranco.
The band, which formed in the 1990s and whose history includes long stretches of inactivity, has been unusually active as of late: between December 2017 and February 2018, they released a three-part EP titled How to Solve Our Human Problems, and are currently two-thirds of the way through a month-long North American tour.
CityFolk isn’t, however, shortchanging attendees: they’ve also added American folksinger Ani DiFranco to the lineup, who will play on Thursday, September 13.
Those who were dead-set on seeing the band this year (and who are willing to fly to Vancouver) still have time, however: Belle and Sebastian are playing two Canadian dates on June 28 and 29 at the tail end of their current tour.
