PSA: There's still time to see Doechii in the UK this summer if you missed out on Glastonbury tickets.

The American rapper is making her Forwards Festival debut this summer, and she'll be in good company.

Set to take place on August 23 and 24 at Bristol's Durdham Downs, some of music’s biggest names of the moment will take to the stage.

It comes after Doechii poked fun at the now-infamous 'umbrella incident' which saw her seemingly having a stern word with her team as she made a low-key entrance at the Met Gala in NYC on May 5. Responding to the furore on Instagram, the self-titled 'Swamp Princess' wrote: "God forbid a girl needs more umbrellas!"
