Hot Seat Dwayne Cross – Supafest

Staging a festival is fraught with problems. Staging an international hip hop festival is another matter altogether. Just ask Dwayne Cross. The U.S.-born, Melbourne-based promoter is behind the four-city Supafest, whose fourth edition was recently postponed just a week out from the big show. Fans of bling and bluster were doubly-disappointed when Live Nation's rival event Movement was cancelled. Supafest claims to be "world's biggest hip hop and urban music festival." And there's some weight to that statement.
