A$AP Rocky will NOT perform at Longitude tonight

The rapper was arrested in Sweden over the weekend

A$AP Rocky will not perform at Longitude tonight, festival organisers have confirmed.

The rapper was arrested on suspicion of assault in Stockholm last weekend, and was detained over fears that he would flee.

In a statement, they said: “Due to the Swedish authorities decision to continue to detain A$AP Rocky he will no longer be able to headline Longitude tonight.”

“It’s not all bad news though, we are delighted to announce that Ski Mask The Slump God will close the main stage tonight instead!”

Saturday night will be headlined by popular grime rapper Stormzy, after Chance The Rapper pulled out of the line-up last month.

Meanwhile, Cardi B and Future will headline the festival on Sunday.
