The band tweeted: "Our dear brother Johnny McDaid has been experiencing neck pain & requires surgery.
"Along with Nathan, we need to give our brothers time to heal & recover and are sorry to announce the cancellation of European shows. We hope you understand."
Glastonbury added on Twitter: "Unfortunately @SnowPatrol have been forced to withdraw from their Other Stage performance at #Glastonbury2019, which was due to be on Friday at 6.30pm. That slot will now be taken by @TheCharlatans."
