More specifically, Rae Sremmurd have been bumped up the bill to the headline slot, with J Hus going on at 7.15pm. “We now know for sure that A$AP Rocky won’t be able to make his set tomorrow,” reads a tweet from the organisers. “We’ve been busy making calls…. and now we’re hyped to say London’s J Hus is joining the line-up and Rae Sremmurd will close the show.” ℹ️ We now know for sure that A$AP Rocky won’t be able to make his set tomorrow.

He offered his own side of the story on Instagram, with video of his team being followed by two men and telling them they don’t want to fight – prompting a #FreeRocky campaign – but will remain in custody while the investigation goes on. Last year, J Hus was similarly replaced after being arrested in London for carrying a knife. He’s since ended a related eight month jail sentence early, appearing onstage with Drake the same day as his release. Escape the algorithm!
