All Together Now headliner Róisín Murphy has cancelled her performance at the festival this year due to illness.
Posting a statement to her social media, the singer-songwriter said, “Just want to say how terribly sorry I am. I’m going to have to cancel a couple of gigs. I’m cancelling All Together Now this weekend in Ireland and a show that’s scheduled for Tuesday in Croatia.
“I’m extremely sorry to anyone who follows me, anyone who is my fan knows how much I love doing what I do, love to perform and love to be there with you. This is horrifying for me. Absolutely desperately sorry."
Hello I’m so sorry to announce the cancellation of gigs in Ireland and Croatia over the coming days. If could be there I would be but I need to rest and heal. I love you all, please stay with me. I’ll be back! ❤️🌹 https://t.co/aagA9jjWds

Róisín said that she was advised not to perform on Saturday night in Curraghmore due to illness.
“I have an abscess in my breast. It’s not cancer thank God but it’s a very tricky thing and it’s not healing as it should yet. I’ve just seen a consultant today in London who has told me I need to get as much rest as possible in the next two to three weeks in the hopes of avoiding an operation."
A statement from All Together Now says: “We are devastated to announce news from @roisinmurphyofficial this afternoon that sadly she will not be able to travel to Ireland to perform at ATN this weekend. Everyone at the festival wishes Róisín a speedy recovery.”
