Longitude Special: Wiley "cancelled" minutes before taking the stage

UK Grime artist Wiley was mysteriously cancelled at the last minute during today's Longitude Festival at Marlay Park.

While the crowd was eagerly awaiting Wiley's imminent appearance at the Heineken Stage, an announcer arrived to cheers and anticipation.

This turned to anger in an instant as the crowd was told that Wiley would not be appearing, and that house DJ Sage would be appearing at short notice instead.

The crowd greeted this with loud boos, middle fingers and angered disbelief.

Luckily, this changed in an instant when Sage began spinning his tracks. The crowd quickly became a mass of shirtless adolescents cheering, dancing and enjoying themselves.

Fans were mystified then when Wiley tweeted from outside the festival's front gate:

I've been standing at the front of this festival for 20 mins tho so
