The Big Day Out has quashed rumours that Crystal Castles would join The Black Keys in pulling out of the line up. Reports prior to a series of shows in Asia suggested that singer Alice Glass had suffered a broken ankle.
The Canadian electro band’s Ethan Kath told an interviewer from Tokyo that “We’re at the hospital, having x-rays taken. It appears that she has a broken ankle. When asked as to what effect that would have on an Australian tour, Kath replied, “I don’t know. Maybe she’ll be doing it in a wheelchair. I’m not sure.”
The Big Day Out’s official Facebook page has posted a status update yesterday afternoon saying “CRYSTAL CASTLES HAVE NOT CANCELED [sic] – DON’T BELIEVE THE HYPE!” All will be revealed today when Crystal Castles are due to take the stage at the Auckland leg of the event.
