UK indie-rockers Catfish & The Bottlemen have cancelled their Australian tour due to illness.

The Kathleen, 7 and Cocoon hit-makers were scheduled to kick-start their Australian tour on Wednesday night at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion before returning to Newcastle on Saturday night at the Bar On The Hill.

The Welsh band last played in Newcastle in 2019 at the Civic Theatre.

"Catfish and the Bottlemen want to thank the fans for their support," the band said in a statement on social media.

"This weekend they were hoping to still be able to perform, but on doctors orders they were forced to cancel their show in Dublin.

"Due to band illness, the Australian dates this month will also no longer be going ahead. The band were really looking forward to these shows and sincerely apologise to everyone for any inconvenience and disappointment. Thank you for your understanding and continued support."

It is understood the outdoor show at the Bar On The Hill was close to sold out.
