Janelle Monáe has cancelled her upcoming Australian tour to perform at the Grammy Awards in February.
The festival confirmed it with a statement issued on their official website:
“We can confirm that Janelle Monáe has just been added to the line up to perform at the Grammy awards on February 13th. This last minute announcement from the Recording Academy unfortunately means that Janelle Monáe will no longer be able to appear at the 2011 Good Vibrations Festival as planned.”
It’s the second blow for the dance festival with Cee-Lo Green also pulling out for the same reason.
The festival will, of course, go ahead as planned with what still amounts to a stellar lineup including Faithless, Phoenix, Ludacris, Sasha, Nas and Damian Marley, Kelis, The ting tings, Miike Snow and many more.
Dates for the festival are:
FEBRUARY
12 - Centennial Park, Sydney, NSW
13 - Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne, VIC
19 - Parklands, Gold Coast, QLD
20 - Claremont Showground, Perth, WA
