Rapper pulls out of festival over knife charges

English rapper J Hus has pulled out of Glasgow’s TRNSMT festival.

The 23-year-old was arrested on 21 June in London and charged with possession of a knife.

He had been due to perform on the main stage tomorrow on Glasgow Green. Festival organisers have replaced him with Gerry Cinnamon. A spokeswoman for TRNSMT said: “Unfortunately, J Hus is no longer able to perform at TRNSMT this weekend.”

The music festival is expected to attract more than 140,000 people over its first weekend.
