Exit festival re-invites Bjork

Exit festival organiser Bojan Boscovic says there is an open invitation for Bjork to perform, after admitting he had emailed her team.

More political Bjork shenanigans now. Following that previously reported kerfuffle surrounding Bjork's appearance at Serbia's Exit festival, the singer has been 're-invited' to perform.

As you'll remember, the singer claimed to have been dropped from the line up after she dedicated the aforementioned song 'Declare Independence' to the state of Kosovo, a move which possibly wouldn't go down too well with any listening Serbs. Exit's Bojan Boscovic initially denied that Bjork had ever been on the bill, but Bjork's people claimed that he'd actually sent an email saying she was no longer welcome, and now Boscovic has admitted that she was scheduled to appear, and that he did email Bjork's people, but implies that he sent the email in a personal capacity because he was a bit concerned about the ramifications of her getting political at his event.

Here's what he says now: "That email was not an official EXIT statement. It was my email sent showing my great concern about what is going on. Two weeks later I have a different opinion about it. We do want to see her at EXIT. We're trying to see with management now if this is the best time to have her. There is an open invitation".
