It’s not the first time Skepta has blocked from playing in the US. Last year the MC had to pull out of Coachella for the same reason
Skepta has been forced to cancel an upcoming performance at US festival Lollapalooza due to ongoing Visa issues. The UK MC has faced this issue before – last year he had to pull out of a number of US dates including his highly-anticipated set at Coachella for the same reason.
The festival is due to take place from 28 – 31 July in Chicago and US rapper Joey Purp has already been announced as Skepta’s replacement. See a Tweet from Lollapalooza below.
Due to ongoing Visa issues, Skepta will not perform at Lollapalooza this year. Joey Purp will perform on Perry's at 2:30, Friday of #Lolla.
