Music festival All Points East has announced the replacement for Doechii, who pulled out of the festival just days before it was set to kick off this weekend.
Fans have been left devastated after the Victoria Park, London, festival announced that she would not be performing on Saturday, August 23.
‘We’re very sorry to announce that Doechii, 27, will no longer be performing at her upcoming shows,’ a statement on Instagram read.
‘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.’
Now, the festival has confirmed that FKA twigs will headline the West Stage on Saturday August 23 in the slot Doechii was previously scheduled to fill.
A statement from the festival reads: ‘One of the most brilliant and visionary artists of her generation, twigs’ addition makes this already incredible female-led line-up even more special.
‘twigs joins a masterful billing that includes a London-exclusive performance from Tyla, plus JADE, Jyoty, Nao, Montell Fish, Cat Burns and many more. This follows the announcement that Doechii will no longer be able to perform at the festival.’
Festival goers have taken to the comments of All Points East Instagram announcing the news to share their enthusiasm.
