Azealia Banks ProfileNew York rapper and headliner of the Listen Out festival Azealia Banks cut short her set at the Melbourne leg of the festival last night after a projectile was thrown at her from the crowd.
Banks, whose Sydney set was allegedly cut short for a similar incident, says the incident made her and her crew feel “unsafe”.
A statement from festival organisers this morning read, “Azealia Banks was forced to cut her set short last night at the Listen Out Festival in Melbourne on 5th October 2013.
“This was as a result of a member of the audience throwing a full can on beer at her on stage. The incident made Azealia and her stage crew feel unsafe. Banks would like to apologise to those fans in the audience whose experience was affected by the behaviour of one individual.”
The festival, which replaces Parklife this year, finishes up today in Brisbane.
