FKA twigs sparks outrage among fans after cancelling more shows due to ‘visa issues'
The singer, 37, who recently postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates last month, explained on social media that the cancellations were due to 'ongoing visa issues'.
Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, was scheduled to play at Coachella in Idaho, California on 11 April and 18 April this month. She also cancelled her show at AXE Ceremonia in Mexico City this weekend.
In a post shared to Instagram, FKA twigs explained: 'I'm devastated to share the news that due to ongoing visa issues i am not able to see through any of my scheduled tour dates for the remainder of April across North America, including Ceremonia and Coachella.
She continued: 'It pains me to say this because I am so excited to bring you a creation that I have poured my soul into and I believe is amongst my strongest work and I know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows.
'I promise that I am working to reschedule the affected dates as quickly as possible. For headline shows, please refer to your point of purchase for details and refund information. Back to you all with more updates as soon as I have them – in the meantime here are some of my favourite parts of the show that we worked so hard to create,' the singer signed off, alongside a selection of photos from other tour dates.
Fans were quick to vent their frustrations over FKA twigs announcement, with many pointing out the singer has pulled out of Ceremonia festival three times in recent years.
'Again, girl??' one person asked. 'What's the point of spending money on tickets, flights, and hotels just to get canceled on for the third time? You've had months to sort this out... Visa issues at your big age? Be serious. Your fans deserve respect.'
Meanwhile, another fan – who had already travelled to Mexico to see FKA Twigs perform – dubbed the singer 'unprofessional' and pointed out the singer doesn't 'need a visa to perform here'.
'This is the third time I've bought tickets to see you and the third time you cancel,' they said.
Another social media user added: 'WHY do you want the whole world to turn against you? how can you afford all of those fines for last minute show cancellation?
'If you really wanted to do these shows you could've show up with a few people in your team and yourself, we wanted YOU, in mx you don't even v1sa lmao.'
On X/Twitter, another fan in Mexico said: 'Third time you cancel here...and at the last moment', and suggested she might 'lose fans' because of the decision.
However, others defended FKA twigs, with one person writing, 'we love you forever and can't wait to see the show when you're able'.
Meanwhile, another supporter added: 'All in good time we know you won't disappoint.'
It comes after FKA twigs postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates due to her visa paperwork not being submitted on time last month. This followed earlier postponements of the tour's initial shows in Prague and Berlin, which were attributed to shipping issues.
The tour comes after the singer released her third studio album of the same name in January, which peaked at number three on the UK albums chart.

Liam Gallagher attacks Edinburgh Council chiefs during Oasis final Murrayfield gig
Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher has branded Edinburgh Council chiefs as "ugly" during the band's final Murrayfield show. Liam Gallagher has unleashed his third and fiercest attack on Edinburgh Council during Oasis' final night of their comeback gigs at Murrayfield. The 52-year-old rocker was left raging after council bosses labelled Oasis concert-goers as "drunk", "fat" and "old" in secret safety briefings. Officials claimed the majority of the 200,000 fans attending the reunion shows across the three days were 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication'. Today, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, saying: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". This comes after the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at their first night at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday and called council chiefs "f****** slags". Then at Saturday's show, the Rock 'n' Roll star targeted the local authority again, saying they have "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Back in June, one note from the council's briefing documents showed officials warning that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy". Another detailed "concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band". One document also suggested there would be 'medium to high intoxication' at the concert, and to expect a 'substantial amount of older fans', but added there had been 'minimal arrests' at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Oasis didn't take the comments lightly, with Liam saying at the time: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' Around 67,000 people packed out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig, with over 200,000 attending all three shows in total. Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft dazzled fans as Oasis' support acts before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage each night. Fans who successfully snapped up tickets for the Oasis 25 dates back in September 2024 had waited 332 days to see the band's first Scottish dates since the Gallagher brothers began a well-publicised and long running feud that split the band. The Murrayfield shows followed similar reunion concerts in Cardiff, Manchester and London. The band will play their next UK and Ireland dates in Dublin this weekend. They'll kick off the North American leg on August 24, in Toronto, Canada before returning to the UK to wrap up the UK shows at Wembley on September 27 and 28.

Oasis weigh up offers for huge gigs in 2026 including four Knebworth anniversary shows after success of reunion tour
A huge festival in the US have made an offer to the Gallagher brothers WONDERHAUL Oasis weigh up offers for huge gigs in 2026 including four Knebworth anniversary shows after success of reunion tour JUST weeks after Oasis' sell-out 41-date reunion tour kicked off, I was inundated with calls about what was being lined up next for Noel and Liam Gallagher. According to two of my contacts, the brothers have been offered four huge shows at Knebworth House next year — to mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic concerts there in 1996. 15 Liam and Noel Gallagher, pictured in Edinburgh, have been inundated with offers following the success of their tour Credit: Big Brother Recording If the rockers take up the offer, the shows would see them beating their former foe Robbie Williams' achievement of playing the iconic Hertfordshire venue three times. Another three of my moles then called up at the start of last month — to tell me they'd heard about a possible residency at the Etihad Stadium, home of their beloved Manchester City. Weeks later, the rumours started to build online, with fake posters circulated and fan forums alight with talk of the potential to keep the reunion alive. A well-placed insider, who works for a major promoter, told me: 'I could see all of this happening. 'There is so much on the table but it's whether Noel and Liam want to do it.' Those close to the band tell me Noel and Liam are not considering anything for 2026, with no solid plans or bookings locked in. 'They'll be having a well-earned holiday as soon as this tour finishes later this year,' a source explained. 'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. 'Keep magic going' 'But it's ultimately up for them to decide. 'The Oasis reunion hasn't just been concerts. You can see that it's been a cultural movement. Nothing comes close in recent history to Oasis's shows. Liam Gallagher in fresh foul-mouthed rant at Edinburgh Council during Oasis night two 'It's a question of whether Noel and Liam want to draw a line in the sand and close the door on this chapter, knowing they captured the zeitgeist. Or do they strike it up again and keep the magic going? It's a difficult decision to make.' Last month I revealed that private bidders and festivals — including Coachella in the US and Benicassim in Spain — have sent in offers for the band to consider. All those, I've been told, have so far been stonewalled. As a fan, I'd love the chance to see them live just one last time. But if Noel and Liam do decide that this is it, then I'm counting my lucky stars I got to be there in Cardiff, on the second night of the comeback. 15 Liam and Noel Gallagher have been offered four huge shows at Knebworth House next year Credit: Getty Jamie a dip of all right JAMIE DORNAN is apparently a big fan of cold-water swimming, which makes him the natural fit to promote, er, Diet Coke.

He said: 'Cold-water swimming is a passion that's become very important to me. It's my way of finding a moment for myself and I try to do it as often as I can. 'I hope that giving a peek behind the scenes of my lesser-known passion inspires others to take a moment for themselves, crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, and explore their own personal tastes.' Whatever you say, Jamie. ANGELINA JOLIE is preparing to sell the Hollywood home she spent $24.5million on in 2017.

Catherine said: 'As many parents know, the teenage mother-daughter relationship can be a little contentious. And that's very contentious in Wednesday, too. 'Jenna Ortega, I adore.

It will be a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, but also very special. 'They know that their fans will love to try to spot him in the finished video when it comes out in a few weeks' time.' Jade will be the first Little Mix member to release a solo album when the project comes out – three years after the group performed their final concert. She has been dating Rizzle Kicks star Jordan for five years and he is regularly by her side supporting her, despite having a hectic schedule of his own. Speaking earlier this year, he said: 'My girlfriend earns more money than me. She's super successful, and I f***ing love it.'
