On Friday, Aug. 7, Lucius shared a statement on social media announcing their reasoning for pulling out of a scheduled show this weekend.
“We’re very sorry to announce that we won’t be able to perform this Saturday at the summer concert series with our friends Lord Huron,” the statement, written by Wolfe, read.
“Both myself and Holly do not take show cancellations lightly, and we were truly looking forward to performing. Unfortunately, I had to undergo emergency gallbladder surgery this week and still need time to recover,” Wolfe, 41, continued.

Wolfe concluded, “We know may inconvenience some plans and we are truly sorry. Many thanks to Beech Mountain, Lord Huron, and every fan for your support and understanding.”
The show was scheduled at the Beech Mountain Ski Resort in Beech Mountain, North Carolina. Their next show is scheduled for September at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
The indie band — which consists of Wolfe and Holly Laessig — released a self-titled album in May 2025.
Speaking with Variety about the album, Wolfe said it felt thematically “balanced.”
“It feels like there’s an arc, and there’s quiet moments and it’s also erratic at times, just like life is. I feel very grounded in it. It’s kind of similar to how we were when we wrote our first record — which is I think why it feels the most us, and hence is self-titled,” she said.

“We were just letting life happen and writing about that. It happens, also, that our lives are on a pretty parallel path right now. So there’s like a nice little cohesiveness within the band family there, too, being in a similar space right now in our lives,” Wolfe continued. “Everyone’s sort of planting roots and having babies and getting married and doing domestic things. And yet, we’re still kind of these little weirdos.”
Reflecting on what she was most excited for in the year ahead, she said it was performing their music and “seeing an audience react.”
“We’ve been working really hard to bring this record to life, and maybe harder than we ever have on any record we’ve made, because we care about how it sounds and what it feels like,” she said. “There are so many moving parts, and each one of us is taking a lot of responsibility musically. So it does kind of feel like, whoa, this could literally fall apart at any moment. But that’s what makes it exciting and sort of wild too, and that makes me feel alive in a way where I’m excited to be on the road and to bring that to people to share… and see how it continues to unravel, in a way.”
