Keigo ‘Cornelius’ Oyamada, who confessed and apologized for forcing his classmates who had disabilities to eat their own faeces and masturbate in public, will play on the ‘Green stage’ on Saturday 21st August at the popular music festival.

Oyamada, who was in charge of composing some of the music for the opening ceremony of the Olympics, had apologized for assaulting disabled classmates in the past but continued to stir an outcry on social media with growing calls for him to step down. He has since resigned for his role with the Olympics and his contribution, a four minute long composition, will reportedly be cut from the opening ceremony on Friday 23rd July.
