The View Cancel Hove Festival Due To Illness

The View have cancelled their appearance at this years Hove Festival today (June 27) - citing illness as their reason.

The Dundee band – who have now been replaced by London outfit The Maccabees – had been due to play later this afternoon at the new Norwegian Festival.

The news comes just days after The View wowed thousands of fans at Glastonbury with a Friday slot on The Pyramid Stage and a Sunday appearance on The Other Stage.
