Animal Collective (US) + Marina Herlop (ES)| Cancelled

We are deeply sorry to announce that the upcoming show of Animal Collective & Marina Herlop that was to take place at MeetFactory on November 17, has been cancelled, just like the whole EU / UK tour of the band. The decision has been made by the members of Animal Collective themselves. The current adverse economic situation and uncertain financial prospects are behind the decision. All ticket holders will be refunded automatically. 

The band's statement:
“Friends, we are absolutely gutted to announce today that we are making the decision to cancel our UK/EU dates for this November. We love playing music for you and truly wish we could be there. It has been a wild year for us trying to push through a mountain of touring obstacles related to COVID and the economy. Three of us got bad cases of Covid. We were forced to cancel shows and lost large amounts of the income that sustains us and our families. The one constant has been that we have had an incredible time playing music in front of our fans at every show. You are all amazing. We chose to push through because we love to do it. But preparing for this tour we were looking at an economic reality that simply does not work and is not sustainable. From inflation, to currency devaluation, to bloated shipping and transportation costs, and much much more, we simply could not make a budget for this tour that did not lose money even if everything went as well as it could. We have always been the kind of people to persevere through the difficult times and get on stage unless our health prevented it. We are choosing not to take the risk to our mental and physical health with the economic reality of what that tour would have been. We hope you understand and that you know we would not make a choice like this lightly. We truly want nothing more than to make it out there again. Thank you so much to our team, the promoters and venues who worked so hard on this tour for us. We look forward to getting back out to play for all of you and hope you will be there with us when we do.“

11 long years. We have been waiting for so long for the kings of psychedelic pop — Animal Collective — to return to MeetFactory. Their third Prague show will surely please not only those who were devouring their records in the 00s as swiftly as Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Geologist and Deakin were recording them. It all culminated on Merriweather Post Pavilion, which topped the charts of the best (and the best-selling) records of 2009. After that, the band slowed down a bit, releasing their last album, Painting With, 6 years ago.

The Baltimore psych-pop quartet is announcing their comeback this year with Time Skiffs, their newest LP which the Domino label likens to the groundbreaking Strawberry Jam. The magical carnival of Animal Collective returns to MeetFactory on the symbolic date of November 17, 2022.
