The Chemical Brothers have cancelled their Cork concert due to Covid-19 cases within the band and crew just two days before they were set to play Glastonbury.

The electronic duo, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, postponed their show at Musgrave Park in Cork last night until 2023 as a precaution after positive tests for the virus within their camp.

A social media statement read: "The Chemical Brothers are sorry to announce they have had to reschedule their show at Musgrave Park, Cork, Ireland on Thursday June 23rd, 2022, due to Covid in band and crew.

"A further announcement on rescheduled date will be made in due course."
