Lil TJay has failed to “arrive on site” at Leeds Festival 2023, with organisers saying they have been unable to contact him.
The American rapper was due on the Main Stage West today (August 25) between 16:35 – 17:10, but the festival has put out a statement on screens to say they’re currently unsure of his whereabouts.
“Unfortunately, Lil Tjay hasn’t arrived on site and we haven’t been able to contact him. We hope he will arrive soon,” the message read.
Fans have already begun to express their disappointment on social media about the rapper’s no-show. He’s also due to perform at Reading Festival on Sunday (August 27).
