Skepta was forced to cancel a number of U.S. tour dates last April, including his performance at Coachella, because his visa was denied. As Stereogum reports, visa troubles have once again kept the British M.C. from performing in the States, and his upcoming performance at Lollapalooza has been cancelled. The festival, which takes place from July 28-31 in Chicago, has announced that Joey Purp will be performing in Skepta's place.

Representatives for Skepta and Lollapalooza were not immediately available for comment.
