Ice Spice Apologizes for Late Start and Short Set at Australian Festival

The rapper addressed fan disappointment after performing only two songs during a New Year's Eve headline slot in Brisbane due to a delayed arrival.

  • Ice Spice arrived 30 minutes late for her scheduled 30-minute New Year's Eve set at Brisbane's Wildlands Festival, performing just two songs before her microphone was cut off to maintain the event's schedule.
  • Festival organizers explained that the strict curfew and need to keep the countdown act, Chase & Status, on time necessitated cutting her set short despite giving her an extra minute to perform.
  • Fans expressed frustration over the brief performance, with some observers describing her demeanor as dismissive when leaving the stage.
  • Ice Spice apologized during a subsequent performance in Perth, attributing her lateness to birthday preparations, saying, 'It takes a long time to look like a Barbie.'
  • The rapper concluded her Australian tour and global run supporting her debut album 'Y2K!' on January 5 in Adelaide, following the release of the album's deluxe edition on Christmas Day.
