Australian rapper, lyricist and hip hop artist Briggs is joining the 2016 St Kilda Festival line up. A Spokesperson for the St Kilda Festival Briggs will said that he will be replacing Gurrumul, and will be performing a number of his songs in tribute to the artist who is no longer able to perform due to health reasons. Briggs has said he is honoured to perform at St Kilda Festival this year.
“G is my brother, I trust he will be better soon and back to his rock star self. These aren’t ideal conditions to accept a show because I never want to hear of a friend unwell but I’m honoured Gurrumul asked I step in for this date he can’t fulfill, we are family and that’s my brother. I’ll endeavour to do him and the team at Skinnyfish Music justice. I’ll bring my amazing band and represent for us both at this year’s St Kilda Fest,” Briggs commented.

Briggs will be performing on the Main Stage during St Kilda Festival on Sunday 14 February at 4:45pm
