    Gnarls Barkley forced to cancel Electric Picnic show



    It is with great regret, Gnarls Barkley has had to cancel their appearance at next weekend's Electric Picnic festival at the last moment. Due to non-stop performances for the last 3 months, Cee-Lo has put a great strain on his vocal chords and has been advised to cancel his next 5 shows or risk having more extensive problems



    The promoters of Electric Picnic are hugely disappointed but understand that the cancellation is for medical reasons and wishes Cee-Lo a speedy recovery.




    Ireland's only boutique festival, which has grown quickly from an alternative day-out to a 3-day festival is now a major fixture and must for those of eclectic taste.

    The Electric Picnic, Ireland's boutique music festival with seven stages, 3 days of camping takes place 1st, 2nd and 3rd September 2006.

    Barkers cancelled? Oh no. I mightn't go now.

    By the way I was being sarcastic.

    That's not true. There's always Keane and Coldplay.

    What's with all the booing? I saw them in Germany a few months ago and they put on a class act! They were definatly gonna be one of the EP highlights! Real pity they've cancelled

    They cant cos they'd both be tied down to a 4 month contract with their previous promoter unfortunatly. Altho it'd be class if Jape joined Raconteurs at it to play Floating

    pity that when they were booked not alot of people knew about them until two singles later

    fairplay to EP for booking them in the first place

    didn't think that much of the album tbh, i would've only bothered going to see them if they didn't clash with anybody else... no major loss to me:)
