Lambrini Girls, the dynamic noise-punk duo from Brighton, UK, have been forced to postpone their entire American tour and withdraw from Coachella 2026 due to vocalist and guitarist Phoebe Lunny's severe injuries. The band's Instagram announcement revealed that Lunny suffered a fractured neck and acute brain injury, which were initially misdiagnosed in Australia, leading to a delay in treatment. This incident has had a profound impact on the group's plans, with doctors ordering Lunny to refrain from flying or performing for at least six weeks.
In a heartfelt message to fans, Lunny expressed the band's disappointment, especially regarding their absence from Coachella. She acknowledged the band's commitment to community and resistance, stating, 'Making space for subversion and resistance is at the core of what this band is about.' The postponement of American dates has been rescheduled rather than canceled, with the tour now kicking off on June 16th at Warsaw in New York, followed by additional shows in September and October. The UK and EU dates remain unaffected.
Despite the setback, Lambrini Girls' resilience shines through. The band was named Consequence's Rookie of the Year for 2025 following the release of their debut LP, 'Who Let the Dogs Out.' Their ability to adapt and reschedule their tour dates showcases their dedication to their craft and their fans. The rescheduled tour dates include appearances at various festivals and venues across the United States and Europe, providing fans with the opportunity to witness the band's energetic performances once again.
This incident highlights the fragility of the music industry and the importance of prioritizing health and well-being. It also underscores the band's commitment to their art and their fans, as they navigate the challenges of the tour postponement with grace and determination. Lambrini Girls' rescheduled tour dates offer a chance for fans to support the band and experience their unique brand of noise-punk music, while also celebrating the band's resilience and artistic vision.
