Doechii has pulled out of a host of upcoming festivals this week, including All Points East 2025.

The Grammy-winning rapper and singer was due to perform at the Victoria Park festival during RAYE‘s headline show alongside JADE and Tyla, this Saturday (August 23).

But All Points East has now released a statement saying: “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 to All Points East in the future.”

No explanation was given for the rapper pulling out and she is yet explain publicly why she is longer performing.

Doechii has also pulled out of the Forwards Bristol festival the following day (August 24), which she was due to perform alongside Jorja Smith and The Last Dinner Party, with organisers again giving no reason as to why and a scheduled performance at Rock En Seine in Paris this Thursday (August 19).

There is no word on any further cancellations and her ‘Live From The Swamp Tour’ in North America is still currently set to go ahead in October as are a number of festivals stateside including Austin City Limits and One Music Festival in Atlanta.

Earlier this summer, the rising artist played a headline set on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury 2025. In a four-star review, NME hailed the milestone performance as “a masterclass in hip-hop”.

It read: “This may not be the typical Glastonbury set full to the brim with special guests but in just 45 minutes, the Tampa star showcases what she does best and why she’s one of rap’s brightest lights. Consider us schooled.”

During her recent Lollapalooza set, Doechii welcomed former City Girls member JT on stage to perform ‘Alter Ego’. The surprise cameo was unveiled when JT was revealed to be hiding behind multiple umbrellas held by Doechii’s dancers.

The moment was a nod to viral clips of Doechii backstage at the Met Gala, where she demanded more umbrellas to hide her outfit – which led to backlash around the treatment of her staff.

She later responded to the controversy, saying: “God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas.”

Elsewhere, The Maccabees are due to perform at All Points East this Sunday (August 24) alongside WarmduscherThe Futureheads and Westside Cowboy.

Chase & Status and Cleo Sol kicked off the event this past weekend.
