American rapper Lil Tjay was due to perform on the Main Stage West at 4.40pm today (Friday). Thousands of fans packed into the Arena to watch the ‘Brothers’ rapper take to the stage.

Shortly after his set was due to begin, a message appeared on the screen which said: “Unfortunately Lil Tjay hasn’t arrived on site and we haven’t been able to contact him. We hope he will arrive soon.”
