M.I.A has been forced to cancel her appearance at the Sasquatch festival in America this weekend over Visa problems.

A statement released on the Washington DC festival’s website confirmed that there had been an unexpected delay in the processing of the Visa.

The statement says that "unexpected delays in the processing and issuance of M.I.A.'s artist visa have forced her to cancel her appearance at this year's Sasquatch Festival. We apologize to our fans and to the promoters of the festival and look forward to returning to the U.S. as soon as possible."

M.I.A’s eagerly anticipated second album ‘Kala’ is released this summer. Sasquatch features performances from the likes of Interpol, Arcade Fire, Bjork and The Hold Steady.

  • This isn’t necessarily pertinent to the story, but the Sasquatch festival is in Washington State, not Washington DC. I’m not sure when our government is going to figure out that M.I.A. is, in fact, not a terrorist. I hope they do soon as I’d like to see her live sometime.
