D12 miss flight to Heatwave Festival

According to a Facebook status update from the organisers of Heatwave Festival, D12 have missed their flight for their performance tonight at the South Australian leg of the tour.

This has forced the organisers to swap DJ group Bombs Away with their slot tonight, and D12 to play on Saturday night; and if that doesn’t work out either, Sunday afternoon. D12 VIP ticketholders get to have their tickets upgraded to XXL VIP.

The most popular comments on the update reads “Bought saturday ticket just for bombs away wtf am i ment to do this is.a load of shit (sic)” and “We bought tickets for bombs away saturday!!? What the fuck were d12 doing? extremely pissed off right now!!!!!”.

The festival goes over three nights in SA, and the decision to move Bombs Away has angered many one-day ticket holders.

The Facebook statement reads “Guys even though we're off to a ripper start and every artist KID CUDI, CHAMILLIONAIRE, OBIE TRICE, CRAZYTOWN, TECH N9NE is either here or about to land...we have some bad news! D12 have missed their flights and will not be performing tonight as scheduled in SA. We are more bummed than you guys seeing as we've paid them for a current no-show. We are working overtime to get them here on Saturday and have moved BOMBS AWAY over to tonight's slot.
D12 VIP holders will immediately be upgraded to an XXL VIP.
We will be doing everything in our power to make D12 play even if it is Sunday aftenoon (sic)!”
