FKA twigs sparks outrage among fans after cancelling more shows due to ‘visa issues'
The singer, 37, who recently postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates last month, explained on social media that the cancellations were due to 'ongoing visa issues'.
Twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, was scheduled to play at Coachella in Idaho, California on 11 April and 18 April this month. She also cancelled her show at AXE Ceremonia in Mexico City this weekend.
In a post shared to Instagram, FKA twigs explained: 'I'm devastated to share the news that due to ongoing visa issues i am not able to see through any of my scheduled tour dates for the remainder of April across North America, including Ceremonia and Coachella.
She continued: 'It pains me to say this because I am so excited to bring you a creation that I have poured my soul into and I believe is amongst my strongest work and I know this news impacts so many of you that have already made plans and spent money in order to see these shows.
'I promise that I am working to reschedule the affected dates as quickly as possible. For headline shows, please refer to your point of purchase for details and refund information. Back to you all with more updates as soon as I have them – in the meantime here are some of my favourite parts of the show that we worked so hard to create,' the singer signed off, alongside a selection of photos from other tour dates.
Fans were quick to vent their frustrations over FKA twigs announcement, with many pointing out the singer has pulled out of Ceremonia festival three times in recent years.

'Again, girl??' one person asked. 'What's the point of spending money on tickets, flights, and hotels just to get canceled on for the third time? You've had months to sort this out... Visa issues at your big age? Be serious. Your fans deserve respect.'
Meanwhile, another fan – who had already travelled to Mexico to see FKA Twigs perform – dubbed the singer 'unprofessional' and pointed out the singer doesn't 'need a visa to perform here'.
'This is the third time I've bought tickets to see you and the third time you cancel,' they said.
Another social media user added: 'WHY do you want the whole world to turn against you? how can you afford all of those fines for last minute show cancellation?
'If you really wanted to do these shows you could've show up with a few people in your team and yourself, we wanted YOU, in mx you don't even v1sa lmao.'
On X/Twitter, another fan in Mexico said: 'Third time you cancel here...and at the last moment', and suggested she might 'lose fans' because of the decision.
However, others defended FKA twigs, with one person writing, 'we love you forever and can't wait to see the show when you're able'.
Meanwhile, another supporter added: 'All in good time we know you won't disappoint.'
The Independent has contacted FKA twigs' representatives for comment.
It comes after FKA twigs postponed several of her Eusexua US tour dates due to her visa paperwork not being submitted on time last month. This followed earlier postponements of the tour's initial shows in Prague and Berlin, which were attributed to shipping issues.
The tour comes after the singer released her third studio album of the same name in January, which peaked at number three on the UK albums chart.

Travis Scott Outsells The Next Two Bestselling Albums In America Combined
JackBoys 2 opens atop multiple Billboard charts, including the Billboard 200 and Top Album Sales, as ... More Travis Scott beats Ateez and Twice by a wide margin. INDIO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 12: (FOR EDITORIAL USE ONLY) (EXCLUSIVE ACCESS) Travis Scott performs at the Coachella Stage during the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 12, 2025 in Indio, California. (Photo byfor Coachella) Most rap musicians rely on hefty streaming sums to conquer the Billboard charts, either with exciting new songs or full-length projects. Hip-hop dominates as the biggest genre in America, easily taking the lead on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, where users gravitate toward the style in huge numbers. A handful of artists in the competitive space have developed fan bases that are eager to purchase new music, not just stream it, and Travis Scott is leading that charge, especially when it comes to albums. The rap powerhouse's new full-length JackBoys 2, which credits him both as a solo act and as a member of the group JackBoys, conquers several Billboard charts this week, thanks largely to an impressive opening sales sum. JackBoys 2 Opens at No. 1 JackBoys 2 — the sequel to the simply-titled JackBoys, which arrived several years ago — opens at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and the Top Album Sales chart. Luminate reports that the full-length shifted 232,000 equivalent units in its first tracking period, with more than 160,000 of those being actual purchases. Both sums easily prove to be enough to send Scott and his fellow musicians to the summit of two of the most important album rankings in the United States, as when it comes to pure sales, nobody could compete. Ateez Misses Returning to No. 1 This week, the second-bestselling album in the U.S. is Golden Hour: Part 3 by K-pop boy band Ateez. That project rockets up the Top Album Sales tally from No. 12 to No. 2 thanks to 70,200 copies sold. That's less than half of what JackBoys 2 managed during a truncated tracking week, as the set didn't arrive on Friday as is typical, but later in the weekend. Travis Scott Beats Ateez and Twice Scott and company outsell the next two bestselling projects in America this week with no real competition for the top spot on the Top Album Sales list. Coming in just behind Golden Hour: Part 3 is Twice's This Is For, which starts with 67,800 copies sold. JackBoys 2 outsold both Ateez and Twice with tens of thousands of copies to spare. Travis Scott Also Dominates the Genre Charts JackBoys 2 also manages to dominate both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts as it arrives. The set doesn't quite make it to the summit on the Vinyl Albums or Top Streaming Albums tallies, instead entering those lists at Nos. 3 and 4, respectively.

Achieve Maximum Bougieness With Caviar-Bumped Limited-Edition Dishes at Outside Lands
is the associate editor for the Northern California and Pacific Northwest region writing about restaurant and bar trends, coffee and cafes, and pop-ups. San Francisco's Outside Lands music festival is not quite at Coachella seen-and-be-seen level, but it's damn near. From Friday, August 8, to Sunday, August 10, the extravaganza in Golden Gate Park will host full stack coders spending their final paychecks before agentic AI takes their jobs and would-be Beat poets brazenly blasting through the paychecks they don't have (read: their parents' credit cards) alike. It's the food and drink that attracts some to Outside Lands. Wisely so, as the festival just announced this year's 10 limited-edition items. Caviar rules the day. The dishes are all from local players and all are over-the-top indulgences. There are only a finite amount served each day, and attendees are encouraged to show up early to try them out. There are up to 30 of some of the items, while there are just 10 or 15 of others, making this a Northern California shiny Charizard-of-the-food-game situation — extremely rare, and sought-after. This year, there are super wild bites from 10 Bay Area players, ranging from Gumbo Social to Pedro's in Los Gatos. My Friend Fernando's Wagyu and caviar-riddled tostada. My Friend Fernando The real magic here is in the details. Caviar-topped Korean corn dogs from Michelin Guide-recommended for instance, and beef tartare tostadas from pop-up phenom My Friend Fernando, edible flowers littering the plate. Caviar here and caviar there on Mamahuhu's General Roe's fries with mushroom seaweed garlic seasoning, ginger scallion creme fraiche, and, yes, Siberian caviar. The Mission shows up large with Piglet & Co.'s caviar-topped wings and Pink Onion Pizza's mushroom and shaved-truffle pizza. The festival's food managers Taste of the Bay Area curated this hit list, like they put together the entire festival's food and beverage options. One does not need to pay extra to access these items; the Bites of the Bay program from 2024 is not back in 2025. For those who can't make Outside Lands this year, there's plenty of good food by the park. You can stream the festivities through Amazon and Twitch, if that's your thing. Here's the full list of participating restaurants and limited-edition items: • Gumbo Social's Cajun bayou shrimp burger, 20 available per day • Johnny Doughnuts' Dubai dream bar, 15 available per day • Mamahuha's General Roe's caviar fries, 20 available per day • My Friend Fernando's wagyu beef tartare tostada, 10 available per day • Pedro's wagyu quesabirria crunch wrap, 30 available per day • Piglet & Co.'s wings and caviar, 30 available per day • Pink Onion Pizza's truffle magic pizza slices, 30 available per day • Provecho's sashimi tostada, 20 available per day • lobster tail Korean corn dogs, 10 available per day • Woodhouse Fish Co.'s lobster roll cones, 30 available per day Outside Lands 2025 is Friday, August 8, through Sunday, August 10, at Golden Gate Park. For the entire food lineup, head to Pedro's crunch wraps are not to be slept on.

Watch: Sombr releases '12 to 12' music video starring Addison Rae
July 25 (UPI) -- Sombr released the song "12 to 12" and an accompanying music video starring Addison Rae on Thursday. The "Diet Pepsi" singer dances beneath a disco ball before she joins Sombr on the dance floor in the music video. Sombr also performed his song "Undressed," which dropped March 21, on Jimmy Kimmel Live Wednesday. He appeared on the stage behind a mirror before singing to an apparent love who'd lost interest. "I'm looking at you and you're looking at me, but the glimmer in your eyes is saying you want to leave," he sang. His new music arrives ahead of the North American leg of his Late Nights & Young Romance Tour, which winds down in Los Angeles Oct. 28.
