Bad news if you were hoping to catch Octavian as part of FOMO Festival 2020 as it tours across the country next month. The rapper has canceled his planned appearances at the fest, with organisers citing “album recording commitments” as the cause.
In his stead, organisers have brought in British rapper Giggs to perform his first ever Australian shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne next month. The grime legend has collaborated with the likes of Stormzy and Lily Allen, and released fifth studio album Big Bad at the start of the year; you can expect cuts from it along with his massive back catalogue during his FOMO set.
FOMO Festival 2020 kicks off in Brisbane on Saturday, 4th January at Brisbane Showgrounds before heading to the rest of the country. The lineup also includes Lizzo, Brockhampton, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Rico Nasty and more.
