10 major festival fuck-ups
When partying goes very wrong
Born & Bred booking, then swiftly cancelling, Azaelia Banks
We can understand the draw of confirming a big name headliner for your debut festival, but generally a sound policy for booking line-ups is to steer clear of notorious racists and homophobes. Born & Bred pulled a bit of a clanger when it locked in Azealia Banks last year. Predictably the acid-tongued artist went on a foul-mouthed and offensive rant before Born & Bred took pace and the organisers did the right thing and scrubbed her off the bill. The US rapper didn’t take the reaction on her chin, retorting "most of the people coming to this on my day were only coming for me".
