Doechii pulls out of London's All Points East and Bristol's Forwards Festival
Organisers of London 's All Points East festival and Bristol's Forwards festival have announced just days before the event that the star will no longer be performing.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Jaylah Hickmon, will also no longer perform at France's Rock En Seine festival in Paris, with no reason given for the rapper's absence at the events.
An All Points East statement read: 'Unfortunately Doechii will no longer be able to perform at All Points East on Saturday, August 23.
'We'd like to apologise to any disappointed fans and hope to welcome Doechii back to All Points East in the future.'
The Florida-born artist was due to perform at All Points East on Saturday, followed by Forwards on Sunday, while her Rock En Seine performance was due to take place on Thursday.
The All Points East statement continued: '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.'
A replacement for the star has not been announced by either of the UK festivals at the time of writing.
A statement from Forwards read: '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 line-up, 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.'
Ticketholders have not been told whether they will be able to get a refund for the events following the cancellation.
The rapper first became known for her track Yucky Blucky Fruitcake, when it went viral following its release in 2020.
Doechii achieved worldwide fame in 2024 with the release of mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which includes the songs Denial Is A River, Catfish and Nissan Altima.
Months later, the record gave the rapper her first Grammy Award for best rap album, with nominations for best rap performance and best new albums at the 67th award ceremony.
She is also behind the viral hit Anxiety, which was released after a YouTube video of Doechii singing the song, which samples the 2011 hit Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye and Kimbra, resurfaced.

Future's iconic rap album 'DS2' gets the ballet treatment in a one-night-only performance at BAM
Grab your pointe shoes and your double cup. Future's era-defining trap opus DS2 is about to plié its way onto the Brooklyn Academy of Music stage. On Friday, September 19, Grand Marnier is teaming up with the multi-platinum rapper for DS2 Remixed: The Ballet, a one-night-only spectacle at BAM's Howard Gilman Opera House that promises to fuse rap, dance and high fashion into something entirely new. If that sentence made you blink twice, you're not alone. This is not your typical night at the ballet. Imagine 'March Madness' reframed through choreography by Emmy Award-winning powerhouse Ebony Williams, the first Black American female dancer at Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet and, yes, the woman who slayed in Beyoncé's Single Ladies video. Add in a corps of world-class Black ballet performers, costumes by Queens-born designer LaQuan Smith (whose high-glamour creations have graced everyone from Rihanna to Kim Kardashian), and a score built on Future's 2015 triple-platinum masterpiece. The result is a collision of high art and hip-hop that's as Brooklyn as it gets. ' DS2 changed the game for me,' Future said. 'A decade later and you still feel that energy everywhere. To see a mixtape I made turned into a ballet with Grand Marnier, right here in NYC? That's different. That's legendary.' Grand Marnier is billing the event as part of its 'Remix Your Legacy' campaign, and BAM is a fitting host. The 166-year-old institution has long stood at the intersection of classical tradition and cutting-edge artistry, making it the perfect place for trap beats to meet tendus. 'This is the kind of bold work that excites us,' says Mari Ogino, BAM's director of corporate strategy. 'It fuses innovation with representation in a way that's true to our mission.' Naturally, there's a cocktail tie-in. To toast the occasion, Grand Marnier is releasing limited-edition GM2 Cocktail Kits through Cocktail Courier. Each kit comes with the fixings for a Grand Margarita plus a custom edible topper featuring Future himself. Ten percent of proceeds will support BAM's Free Music Program, which brings no-cost concerts to the Brooklyn community. Tickets are first-come, RSVP-only and likely to vanish faster than Future's mixtape drops. In other words: Don't sleep. On September 19, DS2 won't just be blasting from car speakers—it'll be pirouetting across a Brooklyn stage, proving once again that trap, like ballet, is all about discipline, drama and defying expectations.
