Lambrini Girls Pull Out of Coachella and Reschedule U.S. Dates After Phoebe Lunny Reveals Neck Fracture
Lambrini Girls have confirmed two immediate schedule changes: they are no longer playing Coachella, and their U.S. live plans have been moved after Phoebe Lunny disclosed a neck fracture. NME reports that Lunny also revealed an “acute brain injury,” while Consequence reports that doctors told her not to fly or perform for six weeks. Taken together, those are the confirmed facts behind the band’s withdrawal from Coachella and the reshuffling of its American dates.
Key points
Lambrini Girls have confirmed they are out of Coachella.
The band has rescheduled its American live plans, with NME describing North American tour changes and Consequence reporting that all American dates were moved.
Phoebe Lunny said she suffered a neck fracture, with NME also reporting an “acute brain injury” and Consequence reporting a six-week medical ban on flying and performing.
Coachella and the U.S. run changed at the same time
The clearest update is that this is not only a festival cancellation. Both source reports tie the Coachella withdrawal to wider changes in Lambrini Girls’ live schedule in the United States. The band’s appearance at the festival is off, and the disruption extends beyond that one booking.
That distinction is supported by the way the two reports describe the schedule shift. NME’s report says Lambrini Girls rescheduled North American tour dates while also pulling out of Coachella. Consequence’s report says all American dates were moved. The wording is not identical, but both accounts point to the same immediate reality: this was a broader interruption to the band’s U.S. plans, not a single isolated festival change.
Within the limits of the available reporting, that is the confirmed scope. The the reports do not settle every routing detail, and they do not list a full replacement schedule in the draft material here. What they do confirm is that Coachella is no longer happening for Lambrini Girls and that the American run was shifted alongside it.
Lunny’s injury disclosure is the stated reason
Both reports center the same reason for those changes: Phoebe Lunny disclosed a neck fracture. That is the factual basis for the Coachella withdrawal and for the rescheduled dates.
NME adds the second medical detail that makes the seriousness of the interruption clearer. In that report, Lunny also disclosed an “acute brain injury.” That language comes directly from the source and sharpens the picture of why the band could not keep the original schedule in place.
Beyond that, the available reporting in the draft and notes does not confirm more diagnoses, treatment specifics, or a longer recovery timeline. There is no support here for projecting how quickly Lunny will return beyond what the cited reports already say. The verified medical details are limited but significant: a neck fracture, an acute brain injury as reported by NME, and the temporary restrictions reported by Consequence.
Those details are enough to explain why the band’s plans changed now. They also keep the story anchored to what has actually been disclosed, rather than sliding into assumptions about recovery or future bookings.
The six-week restriction explains why the dates moved now
Consequence supplies the practical scheduling detail that connects the medical update to the live disruption. According to that report, doctors ordered Lunny not to fly for six weeks and not to perform for six weeks. For a band with U.S. dates on the calendar, that removes the ability to travel and to take the stage during that period.
That point matters because it gives the schedule change a defined immediate cause without requiring speculation. The issue is not framed in the supplied reporting as a vague precaution or an open-ended pause. The reported instruction is specific: no flying and no performing for six weeks. That is the clearest timeline currently attached to the news.
It also helps explain why Coachella and the American dates are being discussed together. A festival set in California and a run of U.S. shows both depend on the same two things Consequence says doctors barred Lunny from doing in the short term: flying and performing. The overlap between those restrictions and the affected plans is direct.
At the same time, that six-week window is the only concrete timing detail in the the reports. The draft and notes do not confirm a return date after that period, and they do not establish what any later festival or tour commitments might look like. The immediate disruption is clear; anything beyond that remains unconfirmed in the supplied reporting.
The band’s message addressed ticket holders directly
Consequence reports that Lunny addressed American ticket holders directly in the band’s statement. That keeps the announcement close to the people affected by the moved dates rather than limiting it to a festival billing change. The audience for the statement was not only industry watchers tracking Coachella, but fans waiting on U.S. shows.
That same report also describes Lambrini Girls as a duo, which helps frame why Lunny’s condition has such an immediate effect on the group’s ability to proceed with scheduled live dates. The band’s statement, as described in the reporting, was therefore both a medical update and a practical notice to people holding tickets.
Lunny also said that “making space for subversion and resistance is at the core of what this band is about.” That line belongs in the story because it is part of the statement the band used while explaining the disruption. It does not change the factual basis of the update, but it does show that the announcement came in the band’s own language rather than as a bare scheduling bulletin.
The key confirmed fan-facing point is still the same one supported across the sources: the dates were moved because Lunny’s injury and doctors’ restrictions made the original plan unworkable.
What remains unconfirmed is the revised routing
The reporting provided here leaves some obvious schedule questions open. The wording gap between “North American tour dates” in NME and “all American dates” in Consequence is worth noting carefully, but not overstating. Both reports support that the U.S. plan changed; neither source excerpt in the draft and notes fully lays out every replacement detail.
The same is true for ticketing specifics and the exact rerouted calendar. The supplied sources do not confirm a full replacement routing in the material provided here, so the most accurate place to leave the story is with the next confirmed point: Lambrini Girls are out of Coachella, the American dates have been rescheduled, and the only concrete timeline attached to that disruption is the six-week no-fly and no-perform order reported by Consequence.
