TomorrowWorld will be without one of its headliners later this month, as Avicii is canceling all scheduled performances.

The Swedish EDM star, born Tim Bergling, is suspending touring  due to health concerns.

Earlier this year, the newly minted 25-year-old had surgeries to remove his gallbladder and appendix. The DJ/producer’s camp says this break will be implemented so “he can fully recuperate from lingering health issues.”

In addition to his TomorrowWorld appearance the weekend of Sept. 26 in Chattahoochee Hills, Avicii's Las Vegas residencies and an October tour of Asia will also be affected.

While his is hardly the only marquee name scheduled to light up TomorrowWorld David Guetta, Diplo, Zedd, Skrillex and Tiesto are among the dozens of EDM stars on the lineup – the "Wake Me Up!" star is one of the most well-known to casual fest fans thanks to his mainstream radio presence.

No word yet if there will be a replacement for Avicii on the TomorrowWorld bill. According to Avicii's reps, he will recuperate in Stockholm.

Tickets to TomorrowWorld are still on sale.
