Alanis Morissette has been announced to replace Neil Young as a headline act at the inaugural State Fayre Festival in Essex following Young's decision to cancel his planned summer European tour.
Skunk Anansie will play in the 'special guest' slot below Morissette on the same evening, Saturday, June 27, the middle day of the weekender.
Neil Young was scheduled to begin a run of UK shows at the Eden Project in Cornwall on June 17, with additional gigs lined up in Manchester, Glasgow, Blenheim Palace and Cardiff. However, on February 7, the 80-year-old singer/songwriter announced that he was cancelling his entire European tour.
"I have decided to take a break and will not be touring Europe this time,” he said in a press statement. "Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. I’m sorry to let you down, but this is not the time. I do love playing live and being with you and the Chrome Hearts."
