Stormzy will replace A$AP Rocky at Melt Festival this weekend

A$AP Rocky was arrested in Sweden earlier this month on suspicion of assault, and is still under investigation, resulting in the cancellation of some of his festival appearances.

He's currently still detained, which means Melt Festival in Germany has had to find a replacement for his set on Saturday (20 July) evening.

Like Poland's Open'er Festival, Melt have revealed Stormzy will replace A$AP Rocky, "We‘re stoked to announce artist of the moment Stormzy is joining Melt Festival 2019 for his only show in Germany this year! He will take over for A$AP Rocky, closing the Melt Stage on 20 July!"
