M.I.A. CONFIRMS FREE CONCERT
Rapper M.I.A. is set to fulfil her promise of a free show for New Yorkers - she’s lined up a mystery gig in Brooklyn.
The Paper Planes hitmaker was forced offstage early at the Hard NYC eve nt on Govenors Island in July (10) when a huge thunderstorm broke out, sp arking fears she could be electrocuted.
The early finish prompted criticism from some fans - and the British st ar responded by promising to play a free concert in the Big Apple for all ticketholders.
And now M.I.A. has made good on her vow - she’s lined up a show at the Brooklyn Bowl venue but has yet to reveal the date.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, she writes, "The Brooklyn Bowl! Conf irmed for NYC free show!" No further details were given but it’s believed the rapper - who is cur rently on tour and is due to play at New York’s Terminal 5 on Monday (27S ep10) - will perform at the venue in late September (10) or early October (10).
