Lil Wayne is listed as the headliner for the Ultra Session Beats 2011 festival, set to take place across five cities from late October.
Wynter Gordon, Kid Cudi, Alexis Jordan, Tommy Trash and Mr. Wilson and Tonite Only are also named on the bill, which has appeared online to little fanfare, despite the impressive lineup.
The festival starts October 22 in Townsville, before hitting Brisbane, Cairns, Sydney and Perth. The event website claims full programs for the events will be revealed one month before each show. For some reason it appears that Melbourne is not listed?
UEHQ Will continue to investigate the likelihood of this occuring. Lil Wayne has spent significant time in prison on weapons charges, which may hamper his ability to secure entry into the country.
Update: Inthemix reports...
While initial reports confirmed that Ultra Session Beats 300 (or USB) was indeed a legit new festival on the Australian event market, punters were right to be skeptical about such a mélange of artists ‘booked’ for the tour as inthemix can now confirm that the entire festival run has been cancelled.
Through a merry-go-round of phone calls today inthemix was able to get in touch with the organisers behind the new festival and receive confirmation that the plug had indeed been pulled on the operation. Though organisers 300 Entertainment were unable to make an official statement at the time publishing, it is inthemix’s understanding that things went south for the festival due to some relationships with booking agents that turned out to be illegitimate, spoiling the groundwork already laid for the USB festival.
