After releasing their first album in 15 years and performing live for the first time in a decade, The Avalanches will postpone upcoming festival appearances due to health reasons. The band made the announcement on their Facebook page.

"Preparations for our live show at Splendour are going well but unfortunately due to a medical condition requiring treatment in Australia, Tony [Di Blasi] has been advised against international travel for the next few months, so with great disappointment we have had to postpone some forthcoming festival appearances in Europe," the group wrote.

According to the group, rescheduled and new live dates will be announced soon. The group played their new material live for the first time at this year's Primavera Sound. They were next scheduled to appear in Japan at Fuji Rock Festival '16 and in France at La Route Du Rock 2016. In June, we spoke with the now-grown up 12-year-old the group sampled on their song, "Subways."
