The singer also hinted at a new album to follow up the recent Eusexua
Earlier this week, Doechii unexpectedly pulled out of appearances at three major festivals for unknown reasons — but at least we now know who will be filling in for her at one of them. FKA Twigs has stepped in to take over the headlining spot of Saturday’s All Points East festival in London.
FKA Twigs will headline on the West Stage, joining a lineup already headlined by Raye and also featuring sets by Tyla, Jade, Eliza Rose, and others.
For Twigs, the timing couldn’t be better: She’s suddenly everywhere. Last month, she dropped a new track, the creamy dance strut “Perfectly.” During her solo segment at Blackpink’s summer show at Wembley in London, Rosé showed video footage of her and Twigs doing shots and riding a train to the venue.
Twigs also posted an enigmatic photo on her socials that showed her looking pregnant — but the snapshot could also be a sign that a new album is forthcoming. (She later shared photos from what appeared to be the same photoshoot, sans pregnant belly.) She recently told a crowd at a Dutch festival that she’s finished Eusexua Afterglow, a follow-up to this last January’s Eusexua, but its release date hasn’t yet been announced. (Rolling Stone has reached out to reps for Twigs for confirmation.)
To date, Doechii has not given any explanation for her decision to drop out of the lineup of All Points East, Rock en Seine, or Forwards Festival.
