Cape Town - The Red Bull Music Academy 2011 has been relocated to Madrid, after the recent earthquakes in Japan left the original Tokyo location untenable.
The Academy will now be hosted in the Matadero area, an industrial complex that is currently being transformed into the Spanish capital’s biggest centre for contemporary creation.
A spokesperson for Red Bull South Africa said: "We have been in close contact with our Japanese team and friends since the terrible earthquake and tsunami that struck on March 11. After a thorough evaluation, we have decided to relocate this year's edition of the Academy, which was set to take place in Japan this fall.
"When the terrible events of March 11 struck in North East Japan, we had to make a decision about a potential relocation as soon as possible, and it quickly became apparent that going forward with these plans in Tokyo right now would not be possible."
