The controversial rap crew kicked off the Big Day Out bill because of their homophobic and misogynistic lyrics will perform a show in Auckland the night before the one-day festival.
Odd Future - led by 20-year-old hip-hop brat and mastermind Tyler, The Creator - play the Powerstation on January 19.
Following a complaint early last month by Calum Bennachie from Wellington, who objected to the group's derogatory lyrics, and the intervention of Auckland councillor Sandra Coney, Big Day Out organisers cut the rising stars of hip-hop from the line-up.
The Odd Future concert will now be part of the Big Day Out's Big Night In shows held the night before the main event.
BDO ticketholders are eligible for discounted tickets to the show (that's $37.50 down from the full price of $73).
