If you look closely at the day line up that was revealed yesterday, you'll notice the absence of one name, that was added to the Electric Picnic bill back at the beginning of July - Dan Deacon.
The Dan Deacon Ensemble were billed to play at the picnic, but now, according to a myspace post, Electric Picnic was one of several European dates that were advertised despite not having been fully confirmed.
The post goes:
'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**k up.'
Dan Deacon will actually be finishing up his European tour in Glasgow tomorrow (Friday 28th)and kicking off an American tour in Chicago in September 6th.
