Lil Wayne will no longer perform – LUDACRIS will now play on Saturday

UPDATE FROM THE TEAM

  • Lil Wayne will no longer be performing at Strawberries & Creem 2022.

  • LUDACRIS will now perform on Saturday 18th June.

Due to extreme circumstances beyond our control or influence, we are very sorry to inform you that Lil Wayne is now unable to perform at the festival on Saturday 18th June. 

Lil Wayne has been refused entry to the UK directly by the Home Office in a last minute decision. We are deeply disappointed by this sudden and negative ruling.

We have received very minimal notice, and the timing of the decision is of course upsetting for all involved – including Lil Wayne’s fans, as well as the festival team.

Across the weekend, we still have an incredible array of artists joining us. The team have all worked round the clock to secure a huge new name for Saturday too:

We have brought in Grammy-winning rapper LUDACRIS to play a UK EXCLUSIVE set on Saturday.

He joins Tion Wayne, Mabel, Wilkinson, special guests and more on Saturday – with Tems, Knucks, David Rodigan and more on Sunday.

Additionally, the team would also like to offer ticket holders a free ticket for Sunday 19th June, or a discount on tickets for next year's festival. Ticket holders – please check your emails for details on how to claim these.

In absence of any statement from Lil Wayne, we would like to apologise to everyone who was coming to see him perform at S&C. We look forward to welcoming the iconic Ludcacris to the stage instead. 

We can’t wait to see all of you this weekend. Love and thank you for your support as always.

Team S&C
