Rapper Skepta has now stepped in and will be filling the slot.

A social media post said: “Deftones have been forced to cancel tonight’s 8.30pm Other Stage performance due to illness in the band.

“Skepta will kindly step-in, taking the stage at 9pm.

“He says: ‘Let’s go!!! No crew, no production but am ready to shut Glastonbury down. Victory lap time. Pre-Big Smoke 2025!’”

Mercury Prize-winning jazz quintet Ezra Collective, who were due for a 6.45pm performance on the same stage will now play from 7pm to 8.15pm.
