Modest Mouse is stepping into the Friday night headlining spot at Velorama this August.
The originally scheduled headliner, Glass Animals, was forced to cancel after drummer Joe Seaward was in a life-threatening bike accident while the band was on tour in Dublin, as The Know first reported.
In a note shared on twitter, frontman Dave Bayley said Seaward had a broken leg and a complex skull fracture that damaged the part of his brain responsible for speech. The band has canceled all of its shows while Seaward recovers.
