Overview

  • Organizers announced Tuesday that Doechii will not perform at Rock en Seine on Thursday, without giving a reason, and said affected ticket holders will be contacted by email.
  • Le Parisien reported the cancellation was due to personal problems, a reason not confirmed by the festival.
  • The five-day event runs Aug. 20–24 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, drawing roughly 40,000 spectators per day.
  • After ASAP Rocky withdrew from several European festivals, Kid Cudi is the announced replacement for the Thursday slot, with Justice and Queens of the Stone Age also on the bill.
  • Kneecap remains scheduled despite Saint-Cloud’s €40,000 subsidy withdrawal, and organizers say they have assurances of no disruptions as member Liam O’Hanna is due in a London court Wednesday over a 2024 Hezbollah flag incident.
