In an unforeseen development, acclaimed American DJ and producer Metro Boomin has withdrawn from his scheduled appearance at Listen Out 2023, just 24 hours before the festival's commencement, citing personal reasons.

The renowned artist, known for his influential contributions to the music industry, has expressed his deep regret to Australian fans, emphasizing his dedication to them.

Listen Out festival organisers promptly issued a statement, reassuring festival-goers that all other featured artists, including Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice, and Skrillex, are prepared to deliver exhilarating performances.

To fill the void left by Metro Boomin, festival organizers swiftly announced Australian hip-hop sensation ONEFOUR as the replacement act. With critical acclaim both at home and in the UK rap scene, ONEFOUR has collaborated with top artists and promises to bring an electrifying presence to Listen Out.

Listen Out 2023 commences today in Brisbane, followed by dates in Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney. The festival guarantees an unforgettable musical experience, despite this unexpected change in the lineup.
