All Points East is back for round two this weekend after a successful opening run of shows. On Saturday, August 23, Doechii was due to perform on the bill with RAYE headlining, but it has just been announced that she will no longer be able to play.
The US artist was one of the most heavily anticipated to perform on the big stage this weekend, but she has been forced to pull out of this slot, along with two other European festivals: Forwards Festival in Bristol and Rock en his in France.

Speaking on their Instagram page, All Points East said: “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.”
There is no word yet on whether All Points East will be able to book a last-minute replacement to fill the space Doechii was due to play. They have addressed the topic in the comment section of the post, saying: “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.”
