Dan Deacon mix-up, Bacardi Live line-up at Electric Picnic 2009

THIS morning brings the strange news (courtesy of Guesslist) that Dan Deacon is not actually playing the Electric Picnic after all - despite being listed on the official line-up as playing an ensemble gig and a solo set in the Body and Soul.. Strange goings on as Deacon posted a message on his myspace titled 'europe confusion':


Subject: europe confusion
Body: hello,
i just wanted to clear up some information about some shows that i am not playing but i am listed as playing. i will not be playing in europe in september. unfortunately, some of the possible shows got listed as confirmed and advertised. this has resulted in a major bummer as i cannot make these shows. i hope to make it back to europe again soon, but i do not know when that is. my apologies to everyone who was looking forward these fictional shows. this time, it honestly wasn’t my f*ck up.
