Singer-songwriter Doechii has abruptly canceled her three scheduled European festival performances without providing any explanation, leaving her fans disappointed. The 27-year-old artist was set to take the stage at Rock en Seine in France on Thursday, August 21.
The festival organizer released a statement on Instagram, saying, “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.”
All Points East also confirmed on Monday that the “Alter Ego” songstress would no longer be performing at their festival. Doechii was scheduled to perform at the event on Saturday, August 23.
“We’re very sorry to announce that Doechii will no longer be performing at her upcoming shows,” the organizers said in a statement. “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.”
One day later, the Forwards Festival also apologized to fans for the cancellation of Doechii’s performance. The organizer’s statement read, “She is an incredible artist and we were as excited as you were to bring her to our hometown of Bristol.”
Music fans were quick to express their disappointment on X (formerly Twitter) over the cancellations. One fan wrote, “I came all the way from another continent and I was so excited to see her,” while another commented, “That’s a major fee you now have back, there’s no excuse not to have a replacement act.”
