In an unfortunate turn of events, Solange had to cancel her performance on Saturday due to “unforeseen circumstances,” with production.
The festival released a statement saying “It is with regret that OSHEAGA Music and Arts Festival has to announce that Solange will not be performing this weekend at the festival, due to unforeseen production issues out of her and the festival’s control.”
“Solange would like to take this time to send her deepest apologies for the inconvenience and hopes to see her Montreal fans real soon.”
Ocheaga Festival began in 2006 and attracted a total of 25,000 people and in 2012 crowds reached their capacity of 40,000 each day. During its first year, headliners included The Flaming Lips, Kid Koala and Lady Sovereign. During last year’s event, Lana Del Rey, Radiohead, and Vince Staples were among some of the major artists performing at the estival.
Recently, The Weeknd dropped his latest album Starboy which broke records all across the board including but not limited to most Spotify streams in one day and hit number one in over 90 territories. Muse’s latest album Drones was released in 2015 and will likely being promoting music from that LP at the festival this summer. So far the rock band is listed on several festival lineups including Reading and Leeds Festival and Firefly Festival.
