American rapper Doechii has pulled out of her upcoming All Points East performance just four days before the event due to unknown reasons.
The Florida-born rapper and rapidly rising star was a key name on the festival’s lineup for Saturday, August 23. She has also pulled out of two other European festivals.
The lineup for All Points East this Saturday also includes headliner RAYE, as well as Tyla, JADE, Jyoty and Nao.
In a statement posted to Instagram, All Points East told followers: “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.”
The caption continues: “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.”
However, many fans are disappointed by the shock news that Doechii will no longer be performing. “I just fell to my knees in M&S,” on commenter wrote. “All points east or all points missed?” another asked.
In response to one commenter asking for a replacement, All Points East responded: “We are working very hard to see who might be able to perform in the slot vacated by Doechii at short notice, given the complex logistics required to advance a suitable show at a similar scale. We will update via our general comms as soon as we have any news.”
Doechii has also pulled out of Forwards Bristol festival ahead of her scheduled performance this Sunday, with the organisers writing on social media: “We are very sad to announce that Doechii will not be performing at her upcoming shows.”
The 27-year-old rapper is best known for her songs Denial is a River, Anxiety and Nissan Altima. Her hit mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, won Best Rap Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
