Alesso Cancels Performances Due to Health Concerns and “Overexertion”

In a somber announcement, Alesso has announced the cancellation of upcoming shows due to health concerns and exhaustion.

Taking to his Instagram Story, the Swedish dance music superstar said: "I regret to announce that I must cancel my upcoming shows in Australia and Saudi Arabia due to a recent health issue combined with overexertion. My doctor has advised me to take some time to rest and recover to ensure I can continue creating and performing at my best for all of you."

It's the "first time in 14 years of touring" that Alesso has had to make a decision of this magnitude, he added.

Cancelled performances include Kygo's Palm Tree Festival in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane as well as MDLBEAST's Soundstorm Festival in Saudi Arabia's capital of Riyadh. Attendees of the latter were looking forward to b2b DJ set with fellow EDM heavyweight Martin Garrix.

In the hopeful case that his recovery is swift, Alesso will perform in late December at India's Sunburn Festival as well as SoCal's Decadence NYE. You can find his tour dates here.
