The Arcadia Tour cancellation also removes Alison Krauss & Union Station from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass on 3 October.
Organisers have not yet announced a replacement. The free Golden Gate Park festival still features My Morning Jacket, Los Lobos, Mavis Staples, Emmylou Harris, and Steve Earle among its major names.
The change leaves one of the festival’s most anticipated bluegrass and Americana appearances unresolved while the rest of the San Francisco programme remains intact.
