Jean Grae goes MIA
The Big Day Out has often shied away from bringing down international hiphop acts, sticking with hoary old rock. This year marked a departure, with the announcement of Common, Jean Grae and Edan. However, the first lineup schedule had Jean Grae and Edan playing at the same time (1.20pm) on different stages. This scheduling clash had me fretting, but it looks like Jean Grae is no longer coming.
Her name has been taken off the artists list on the official BDO site (Its stil visiible via Google cache), and the official timetable PDF lists 'TBA' (to be announced) playing at 1.20pm on the Green stage, the slot that was allocated to Ms Grae. I'm picking that the organisers try and swing M.I.A. to fill that slot. No official announcement about any of this on the BDO site tho. Anyone heard anything?
