THE director of the Big Day Out has lashed out at Blur after the British rockers pulled out of the Australian music festival.
AJ Maddah says Big Day Out "kissed Blur's ass", but was rewarded with a cancellation less than two months before the festival.
Blur announced on Sunday they will no longer be coming to Australia and New Zealand for Big Day Out 2014, blaming the festival promoters for their withdrawal.
Maddah, the new co-owner and director of Big Day Out, has a different story tweeting: "Not sure why they would blame festival when all everyone here has done is kiss their ass".
The Blur cancellation looks extremely bad for the English band who would have signed the Big Day Out contract months ago before being announced.
"All we can do is to replace them and bring you the best show possible," Maddah said.
A replacement for Blur will be announced soon, Big Day Out said in a statement on Facebook on Monday.
"We were disappointed to learn of Blur's cancellation via their Facebook page yesterday morning.
"We are working on replacements and will bring you new additions to the Big Day Out lineup shortly."
Earlier this year, Blur was named alongside Pearl Jam and Arcade Fire as the headline acts for the 2014 festival.
Their headlining shows were due to be the band's first Australian performances in 17 years.
Other acts to play at the Big Day Out include Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion), The Lumineers, Primus, Tame Impala grunge rock godfathers Mudhoney, The Naked and Famous, The Phoenix Foundation and Bliss n Eso.
The festival starts in Auckland on January 17 at the new venue of Western Springs, then moves to the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth.
