Yesterday (August 23), it was announced that Machine Gun Kelly, Princess Nokia and more acts have been forced to cancel their appearances at the inaugural ALT+LDN festival in Clapham.
Coronavirus restrictions have meant that Kelly, Nokia and other acts Chase Atlantic, Lil Skies and Mario Judah will no longer perform at Monday’s (August 30) event.
Festival organisers said in a statement posted to Instagram: “Due to the continuing concerns over COVID-19 and international travel, Chase Atlantic, Lil Skies, Machine Gun Kelly, Mario Judah, and Princess Nokia will no longer be performing” at the hip-hop and rock festival, which takes over Clapham Common, London on August 30.
“Despite all our relentless efforts behind the scenes, some things have been taken completely out of our control. We now know that due to the restrictive Covid measures that are in place, some of the international artists that were booked to play at ALT+LDN are unable to come.
