CockRock Festival Organiser To Take Legal Action Over Wiley's Early Exit
Tuesday, 23 July 2013

The organisers of Cumbria’s CockRock Festival have revealed that they’re going to be taking legal action following Wiley’s swift exit just 15 minutes into his set.
We reported Wiley’s festival shenanigans yesterday - the rapper and self-proclaimed ‘Godfather of Grime’ repeated his Glastonbury Tweet tantrum while en route to Cockrock, before walking off stage just 15 minutes into a boo-filled set. He then bragged about being paid £15,000 for just quarter of an hour’s work.
Now, festival organiser Marie Whitehead has revealed that she’ll be taking legal action against Wiley. She told The Sun:
“We are dealing with 250 contracts for the event, so I'm not sure what the position is but we will be getting legal advice on what happened. It is very disappointing as it would appear he did not fulfil his contract and was supposed to play for 45 minutes.”
