“Due to reasons beyond our control, D12 unfortunately didn’t arrive in Australia in time for the first 3 Heatwave shows. We have been doing absolutely everything we possibly can to get them here as quickly as we can. We would like to sincerely apologize to any disappointed fans. D12 have now been confirmed to join the tour for the Heatwave shows in Perth, Canberra and Melbourne. We once again offer sincere apologies to disappointed fans and are working with D12 management to find ways of how we can make it up to Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney audiences who missed out on seeing the band. Please watch our facebook for updates on this and await further official announcements. All other acts on the bill are having an awesome trip and have already performed at Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney.”

The Line Up
As aforementioned, Kid Cudi will be joined @ Heatwave by Detroit superstars D12 and Obie Trice, whom fans are eager to see after the recent historical Australian EMINEM shows. D12 will be smashing the stage with hits like “My Band”, “Purple Pills”, “Fight Music” and “40 Oz”.
Obie Trice will also be bringing his wild Detroit bred style to the HeatWave Festival, as the former Shady Records artist looks to both bring down the stage with hits like “Got Some Teeth”, “Snitch with Akon” – and showcase his new record “Bottoms Up”.
Adding more heat to the wave is Kansas City king Tech N9ne, famous for his mind blowing live show, selling 1.8 million records independently and his electric fast rapping. Fan favorite Tech N9ne broke into the mainstream with a twist in 2011 and has spent a year topping the charts, collaborating with the likes of Snoop Dogg as well as featuring on Lil Wayne’s multi-platinum “Carter 3” record. And get ready Australia cause Tech N9ne is bringing some surprise guests with him too.
Switching it up a little is CrazyTown. Since shooting to international fame with their smash track ‘Butterfly’, still receiving heavy airplay all across the world today and sitting at nearly 7 million views on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UculXjdcSYs), and its accompanying 2001 #1 album in 2001 - Shifty’s band is back and set to rock something special for everybody as they embark on one of their first international tours in years.
