Fuerza Regida canceled their appearance at Rolling Loud, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday. The festival added rapper OhGeesy to the lineup in the band's absence. The Mexican-American regional Mexican band cited an unspecified “personal emergency” as the reason they were unable to perform at the festival. It's the third Mexicana act to depart the festival's bill this year following the exits of Junior H and Natanael Cano earlier in the week.
“Angelenos, we apologize for not being able to perform at Rolling Loud today,” Fuerza Regida wrote on social media. “We had a personal emergency that doesn't allow us to do the show.
“To be clear, this unfortunate cancellation is about us and not about Rolling Loud,” they added. “We wish we could be there with you today. Our Rolling Loud family has left the door open for us in the future, so we hope to see you later.”
Last week, days before the festival, Junior H and Natanael Cano also dropped from the festival lineup, with organizers and their label giving conflicting reasons why the two artists were no longer on the bill.
Jimmy Humilde, owner and CEO of Rancho Humilde artist record label; he claimed on Instagram that the festival “cancelled us at the last minute” and described Rolling Loud as “racist” in the lineup he shared with his post.
Meanwhile, a representative of the festival said Rolling rock that Cano had problems with his visa and Junior H breached his contract.
“Unfortunately, Natanael Cano and Junior H will not be performing at Rolling Loud California 2024,” a Rolling Loud spokesperson said. “Natanael Cano did not obtain the necessary work permits or visas to be able to perform at the festival. Junior H will not be performing due to several contract violations, including the terms of the festival.”
Fuerza Regida, Cano and Junior H were three Mexicana acts named in “special guest” slots at the hip-hop-focused festival. Rancho Humilde artist Chino Pacas, who was booked on Friday, performed as one of the second line acts.
