I vaguely recall, around 5 years ago, that a big name band (Rolling Stones, U2, etc) was scheduled to play BJ/SH and ended up bailing on the trip very close in, reportedly due to issues with the censors.
I have heard that for one off concerts, it's common practice to submit set lists that please the Big Brother, but then play other stuff.
