Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover) is making waves in the acting world.  He nabbed nominations this awards season for his role in his FX series “Atlanta.”

The rapper/actor has already won a Critic’s Choice Award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series. He’a also up for a Golden Globe Award and he's been nominated for two NAACP Image Awards.

That pesky Golden Globe nomination is getting in the way of his music career. Organizers from the Falls Festival announced that the “Sober” rapper, who was headlining the festival, will NOT be performing on the Fremantle leg of the tour.  He will have to fly out of Australia earlier than expected to campaign for the Golden Globes.

However, he will make appearances at Lorne, Marion Bay and Byron Bay that are apart of the tour. They say the rapper will make up the missed show in the near future.

By the way, Donald covers the newest issue of The Hollywood Reporter.
