Grace Jones Replaces M.I.A. at Afropunk London

Grace Jones will replace M.I.A. at the inaugural Afropunk London, the festival has announced. M.I.A. was dropped last week, after a protracted discussion around controversial comments she made about Black Lives Matter. Jones joins artists including Kwabs, SZA, Loyle Carner, MNEK, Ho99o9, and more. The festival takes place on September 24 at Alexandra Palace.
