J Hus, a headliner at this weekend’s Parklife, has pulled out of the festival with just days to go.
The London-based rapper and singer was one of the biggest names set to perform at the huge Heaton Park event over 8 and 9 June.
He was on the line-up for the slot immediately before Doja Cat on Sunday, on the massive Valley Stage.
But Parklife has announced this evening that J Hus will no longer be performing ‘due to unforeseen circumstances’.
It’s the third act and second headliner to pull out of Manchester’s biggest party, after Fisher withdrew for personal reasons and Digga D also disappeared from the billing.

Parklife is still set to welcome the likes of Disclosure, Doja Cat, Becky Hill, Peggy Gou and more, across multiple stages and two days.
It’s not yet known whether more names will be drafted in to fill the gaps left by Fisher, J Hus and Digga D on the Parklife line-up.
As heading up North wasn’t already exciting enough, the nominations are looking well and truly stacked as always; without further ado, here is the shortlist in full:

Police urgently appeal after 90-year-old woman killed by reversing car in Failsworth
Emily Sergeant
Police are urgently appealing to the public for information and witnesses after an elderly woman was killed by a reversing car last week.
At around 3pm on Wednesday 7 January, officers from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called out to reports of a collision between a car and pedestrian on Albert Street West in Failsworth, and when they arrived on the scene, they found that a woman, aged 90, had been struck by a reversing vehicle.
The woman was promptly taken to hospital in a ‘serious’ condition.
However, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, she sadly later died from her injuries earlier this week (13 January).
#APPEAL | Officers from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are appealing for information after a woman in her 90s was struck by a car on Albert Street West, Failsworth on 07/01/26
Following the incident, a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of driving offences, but he has since been released on bail.
As officers progress their investigation at pace, GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are continuing to appeal for information and witnesses, urging the public to come forward if there’s any way they can help.
The appeal goes out to anyone who believes they saw the vehicle driving before the collision, witnessed the incident itself, or has dashcam footage or CCTV of the incident.
