+44 have announced they’re pulling out of Reading and Leeds to concentrate on writing new material.
They have also pulled the rest of their European tour which would have included shows in London, Leeds, Bristol and Wolverhampton.
In a statement the band said: "We want to start writing new songs and and we are really excited about the direction we have planned, so we're going into the studio instead of playing these few dates.
”We hope our fans will forgive us for the cancellation; in the end, this will make for an even better live show when we come back.”
As yet there is no news of any rescheduled dates.
