FKA Twigs to Headline All Points East’s West Stage After Doechii Exit

The swap follows Doechii’s unexplained pullout from three European festivals, prompting a rapid replacement effort.

Overview

  • All Points East announced on Aug. 21 that FKA Twigs will perform on Aug. 23 at London’s Victoria Park, with RAYE remaining the day’s headliner.
  • Twigs will lead the West Stage on a largely female bill that includes Tyla, JADE, Jyoty, Nao, Cat Burns and Eliza Rose.
  • Festival statements said Doechii would not appear at All Points East, Rock en Seine in Paris or Bristol’s Forwards Festival, and no reason was given.
  • Organisers said their team worked quickly to secure the change and expressed gratitude to FKA Twigs for stepping in at short notice.
  • FKA Twigs recently announced EUSEXUA Afterglow, which her representative confirmed to Pitchfork is a new album separate from Eusexua.
