Fans from across the global electronic music community are sending their love to Benga after he revealed that he will be pulling out of his upcoming US tour with Skream due to last-minute visa issues.
One of dubstep's most influential figures, the UK producer said his visa process “hit a snag,” ultimately delaying his ability to travel and perform in the United States this month. Benga took to social media to share the unfortunate news with fans.
“I am absolutely devastated, my team and I have worked tirelessly to make this happen,” Benga said. “But hey, I'm respecting the process and staying positive. I've [sic] I'm doing well and have had the best two years health-wise and I'm ready to get back out there. The journey hasn't been easy, but having the opportunity to tour with Skream again has been incredible.”

Affected shows include Benga's four-night run with Skream and SGT Pokes in Denver. Skream will now take the stage with fellow dubstep icon Mala for a show in San Francisco later this month.
In lieu of Benga's help, he said they've “asked some of the OGs to step up in my place” in an effort to fill the void while he sorts out his unfortunate travel issues.
One silver lining to the announcement is that despite not being able to join Skream at Coachella for a b2b set later this week, they announced a performance together at the 2025 edition of the iconic Indio festival.
