Rodrigo y Gabriela cancel September gigs

Mexican rock duo (and personal favorites) Rodrigo y Gabriela announced earlier this week that they have cancelled the rest of their September concerts. According to a message on their official website:

“Gabriela is suffering from exhaustion after a hectic summer/fall tour schedule and is left with no choice but to cancel the remaining shows in September. Advice from doctors is to take a few weeks off to relax so she can build up her strength...Gabriela will be taking a month off to get back in shape for the October tour.”

The cancelled concerts includes one on Sunday at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The pair’s autumn tour will continue starting in October with appearances in cities like Miami, New York (CMJ Festival), Seattle, and Los Angeles.
