# Breaking news: The Kills cancel for Electronic Beats Festival Cologne
The Electronic Beats team is sorry to announce that **The Kills** are
unable to perform at this Thursday's **[Electronic Beats Festival in
Cologne][1]**, as well as two France shows. We would love to blame
situations like these on Mondays, but unfortunately it's not always that
easy.
We understand that Kills fans will feel disappointed, but we also ask
for your understanding that the decision for the show cancellation
wasn't easy for either The Kills nor Electronic Beats. Please note that
our planned video live stream is cancelled, too. Of course, **Miike
Snow**, **Austra**, **The Hundred In The Hands**, **Citizens!**, and
**COMA** will remain on the bill. On top of that we're working hard on
finding a stand-in for The Kills. We're sure to still have a great night
with all of you at E-Werk Cologne on 24th May 2012.
Please find The Kills' statement in full below:?
"*The Kills are sad to announce that due to illness, they will not be
able to play our scheduled shows this week.*
*The shows that are affected are:?
**[May 24th, Electronic Beats Festival Cologne 2012, Germany][1]**
May 26th, Les Curiosités du Bikini, Toulouse, France
?May 27th, Festival Europavox, Clermont Ferrand, France*
*Jamie and Alison would like to apologize to all our fans who had bought
tickets to see them at these festivals.*"?
Please [turn to **community@electronicbeats.net** via
email](mailto:community@electronicbeats.net) if you've bought advance
tickets or have questions concerning the situation explained above. Of
course, all advance tickets can be returned to the corresponding box
office (please note: tickets bought at **4010 Telekom Store Cologne**
must be returned at regular box offices). As a compensation for the
Kills cancellation we'll be offering a goodie at the venue's box office
to all ticket owners.
