Legendary Idaho-based indie band Built to Spill postponed Friday night’s Olympia show at the Capitol Theater, according to an announcement on the Friends of Mia Facebook page.

A statement from their management said the band was postponing “due to a personal family issue.” Friends of Mia said they will have more information about makeup dates after the holiday weekend. All tickets will be honored or refunded once a new date has been decided, according a statement from the Olympia Film Society.

The concert was to benefit Friends of Mia, a nonprofit that funds research in childhood cancer.
