Meanwhile, reports out of New Zealand are that Haitian-American musician Wyclef Jean has cancelled his performance at the festival on Saturday following last week's devastating earthquake in his homeland.
The singer and rapper, known for his work as a member of The Fugees as well as his solo music, has decided to postpone his appearance until next year to remain in the US to help his charity, Yele Haiti, raise money for aid relief, the festival's promoters said.
Collections will be taken at Raggamuffin to support the disaster relief effort.
The promoters said Wyclef Jean's former Fugees bandmate, Lauryn Hill, would now bring her own band to the festival.
