Doechii Abruptly Pulls Out of Three Festival Performances
The "Denial Is A River" artist abruptly pulled out of several festival appearances in Europe without explanation, sparking widespread disappointment among fans. However, her tour later this year remains on schedule.
Doechii has canceled performances at three music festivals: one in Paris and two in the U.K. Coordinators of the multi-day events each released statements, announcing the rapper's withdrawal from her shows.

She was scheduled to appear at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris on Thursday, August 21. "We regret to inform you that Doechii will not be able to perform at Rock en Seine this Thursday, August 21st," the festival wrote in French on Instagram.
"She's an incredible performer and like all her fans, we were looking forward to seeing her in Paris. Due to programming changes for Thursday, August 21, those who have purchased tickets for this date will be contacted by email as soon as possible," the account continued.
After Rock en Seine, the singer was expected to perform at All Points East in London on Saturday, August 23. "We're very sorry to announce that Doechii will no longer be performing at her upcoming shows," the All Points East Instagram page shared.
"She is an incredible artist, and, like all of her fans, we were hugely excited to see her on stage," the announcement continued. Despite Doechii's absence, the festival still boasts an impressive lineup, including Tyla, Jorja Smith, RAYE, and more.
Finally, Doechii pulled out of the FORWARDS event in Bristol. The organizers released a similar statement, making her withdrawal known. At this time, it's unclear why the "Anxiety" hitmaker canceled these appearances.
Earlier this month, however, she announced her "Live from The Swamp" tour across the U.S., which kicks off in October. As of this writing, it is still set to go ahead.
