Ludacris to perform at Guantanamo Bay
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 29 June 2016
Ludacris is to perform at Guantanamo Bay, entertaining the troops stationed there and their families, rather than the remaining inmates. The rapper will headline the ironically named Freedom Festival on 4 Jul, aka the US’s Independence Day (Brexiters note: a day marking actual independence from something – Britain, as it happens).
According to the Miami Herald, there is a great deal of excitement about Ludacris’s appearance, the audience having had to endure Magic! last year and Jimmy Eat World the year before.
“Every year we get a special guest around the Fourth of July, but Gitmo hasn’t seen a star with as big a name as Ludacris in several years”, Navy Chief Monique Hilley reportedly told Radio Gitmo. “The base is really looking forward to it”.
