Two Door Cinema Club have pulled out of the Latitude line-up due to illness. The band were set to headline the first night of the festival this Friday, but will now be replaced by Lily Allen. 

Lead singer, Alex Trimble has been hospitalised due to stomach pains, forcing the band to cancel their headlining performance at Latitude this coming Friday as well as their warm-up gig at the o2 Academy Bornemouth tomorrow night. Two Door Cinema Club released a statement this morning, of which announced the cancellation and the reasons behind it, reading:

"It is with a heavy heart that we are going to need to cancel our upcoming shows at Latitude and Bournemouth Academy. Alex collapsed at Seattle airport on the way to London and has been hospitalised with a chronic stomach complaint. We are devastated to have to cancel shows that we were so looking forward to. We can only apologise and hope for your understanding at this time."

Response to the announcment has been understanding, with plenty wishing Alex Trimble well. Although many Latitude goers are undoubtedly dissappointed.
