Chance The Rapper Cancels Splendour In The Grass 2019 Headline Set

Staff Writer

A replacement has been announced.

Splendour In The Grass headliner Chance The Rapper has been forced to cancel his appearance at the festival this weekend.

A statement announcing the news says that, due to illness, he is unable to fly and won’t be able to make it to Australia for his Sunday night headline set.

The last-minute change will see local hip hop legends Hilltop Hoods grace the main stage tomorrow night instead.

Splendour In The Grass is offering refunds on Sunday single-day event tickets until tomorrow, Sunday 21 July, at 9am when festival gates open.

Head to the Splendour In The Grass website for all the details.
