Azealia Banks cancels Irish festival date

It’s disappointing news for Azealia Banks fans with the rapper pulling her Picnic appearance as part of a paring down of her European summer festival commitments.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 28 Apr 2012

She’s still down for the Reading and Leeds festivals on August 25 and 26, but sadly that’s it as she races to complete her debut Broke With Expensive Taste album, which she’s almost completely re-recorded since hooking up with Lady Gaga’s management and having a bigger budget to play with. Confirmed collaborators include Missy Elliott and Kanye West.

Definitely on though is a UK tour kicking off on September 28, and which will hopefully be extended to take in Ireland.

Making Rihanna “Rated R” Fenty look like Taylor Swift is no easy task, but the brilliantly foul-mouthed rapper Azealia Banks managed it with the deliciously obscene ‘212’. The 21 year-old Harlemite tells Celina Murphy all about fancying Paul Banks – and why that Nickelodeon audition never worked out.

Her foul-mouthed rhymes and fearless attitude make Nicki Minaj look like Taylor Swift, so it’s no surprise that in a few short months, she’s wrapped every discerning music blogger around her little finger. Celina Murphy gets an earful of Azealia Banks.
