Bonde do Role cancel West Coast shows

Emergency surgery forces DJ Rodrigo to return to Brazil

Bonde Do Role have been forced to cancel their upcoming West Coast dates.

The Brazilians were set to open for CSS in Vancouver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles over the next week, and perform with Diplo in San Diego on June 11, but have been forced to return to Brazil because DJ Rodrigo Gorky reportedly had to undergo emergency dental surgery.

The band are still scheduled to play several UK and European festivals throughout the summer as previously reported, including the Glastonbury Festival on June 23.
