Earlier in the week, it was announced that Doechii had been forced to pull out of All Points East this coming Saturday (August 23). There was a level of uncertainty over whether the festival in Victoria Park would be able to find a replacement in time, with the festival taking place four days later, but today (August 21), it’s been confirmed that FKA twigs will join the All Points East bill.
It comes after the release of the new FKA twigs album, Eusexiawhich dropped in January this year, and could mark the first time seeing new songs for many fans. This week, FKA twigs also announced the beginning of her new era with the release of her upcoming record EUSEXIA Afterglow.
