Unfortunately the Cat Power concert on Friday December 14th at the AB is cancelled.

Last week Cat Power implied on Pitchfork Media that the European tour was to be postponed. Today we received an official statement by Cat Power’s label/management:

Cat Power cancels her upcoming European tour dates due to illness, releasing the following statement:
"As many of you know, I've been suffering from angioedema since
September. It can attack at random & is extremely frightening and
dangerous when it hits my throat, windpipe, or tongue, and I've been
hospitalized for it eight times since the first attack.
Unfortunately, I have to postpone my European tour until next
year, so I can return home and re-engage myself back into my health
regimen. Thanks to everyone for their love and support."

Purchased tickets will be refunded.
If you have tickets, please return them with statement of account to AB Ticketshop, Anspachlaan 110, 1000 Brussel.

“Organic, intensely steamy, grand lyrical themes, empowering & life-affirming.”(NME)
“With Sun she has made her riskiest, most vital album, not to mention one of her greatest.” (Rolling Stone)

“Here comes the sun” sings Charlyn Marie Marshall in the title track of her ninth album. There's a short-haired 20-year-old Cat Power with a self-assured stare on the cover. A new start for the just-turned-40 American with ‘heartache’ troubles. The mood on ‘Sun’ remains familiarly melancholy but the use of synths, vocal effects and electronic hip-hop beats is new and gives the songs a really ‘uplifting’ vibe. Lyrically, Power settles the bill with her demons: she has an alcohol problem, a bi-polar disorder and, on top of all that, she had to deal with a difficult relationship break-up. In ‘Cherokee’ she attempts to reconcile suffering with beauty, in ‘Ruin’ she denounces the western attitude of indifference, while in ‘Manhattan’ she broaches lost relationships. It took six years for Chan Marshall to record new, self-written songs - ‘Jukebox’ from 2008 consisted entirely of covers - and ‘Sun’ is the proof that that time was needed to rediscover herself musically and mentally.

Power collected a heap of stars from reviewers for her previous visit to a sold-out AB. “Or how professional and emotional don't have to be mutually exclusive” was to be read in De Morgen, and that won't be any different this time around. She's traded in her fickleness and frivolousness for purity and authenticity, a Cat Power that bathes in the light of ‘Sun’.
