At short notice and without any explanation whatsoever, Doechii has pulled out of two major festivals in the United Kingdom.
Born Jaylah Hickmon, the recent Grammy Award winner was scheduled to perform at London’s All Points East festival on Saturday (8.23) and at Bristol’s Forward festival on Sunday (8.24.) However, on Tuesday (8.19,) officials from both events released statements announcing that the hitmaker would no longer be performing.
Taking to social media the All Points East’s organizers wrote:
“We’re very sorry to announce that Doechii will no longer be performing at her upcoming shows. She is an incredible artist, and, like all of her fans, we were hugely excited to see her on stage.” “All Points East has an amazing line-up including RAYE, Tyla, JADE, Jyoty, Nao and many more, and it’s set to be a truly unforgettable day.”
The Forward festival organizers added:
“We are very sad to announce that Doechii will not be performing at her upcoming shows. She is an incredible artist and we were as excited as you were to bring her to our hometown of Bristol.” “We are so proud of this year’s Sunday lineup, with three amazing female headliners in Jorja Smith, The Last Dinner Party and Olivia Dean gracing our stage, as well as a plethora of other amazing musical talent across the day.”
The latest UK news follows Doechii’s cancellation of the Rock en Seine festival in Paris, France, where she was due to perform on Thursday (8.21.) Most recently she performed at the Pukkelpop festival in Belgium on Sunday, and she is set to kick off her Live from the Swamp tour in Chicago on October 14.
