New Year's Eve music festival revellers were left outraged after headline act American rapper Ice Spice, performed for 'less than six minutes'. Fans of the 25-year-old artist were already disappointed when she arrived on stage at Brisbane's Wildlands 25 minutes behind schedule on Tuesday night.

As Ice Spice, whose real name is Isis Naija Gaston, had only been allocated a 30-minute slot for her performance, hundreds of revellers stuck around, determined to make the most of the remaining five minutes. Sporting a bright pink jacket and long, signature bright-orange wig, the international star reportedly performed two to three songs before her microphone was cut.

A stagehand was seen running over to the artist before the stage was quickly cleared. Ice Spice threw her fans a peace sign and was booed from the stage as she marched from the stage. Revellers paid up to $242 to attend the festival held at Brisbane Showground after some travelled six hours to see the rapper perform.

Dozens of attendees vented their anger online afterwards. American rapper Ice Spice was very late to her 30-minute set at Wildlands in Brisbane, on Tuesday night. Attendees slammed the artist for being 'entitled' and 'disrespectful' of her fans and the event organisers.

Another added: 'Genuine question: does anyone actually like Ice Spice?'. A third commented: 'Can someone explain to me how/why artists are late for their sets at a festival? They're usually at the festival all day so like what makes them late?'.
