Rae Sremmurd and J Hus have been added to the Sunday lineup for Wireless Festival this weekend after A$AP Rocky's arrest in Sweden.

Earlier this week it was announced that the US rapper had been detained for up to two more weeks amid investigations into his connection to a brawl in Stockholm.

The rapper denies an allegation of assault and says he was trying to break up the fight.

American hip hop duo Rae Sremmurd will now close the festival, while J Hus has been announced to perform at 7.15pm on the same day.

"We now know for sure that A$AP Rocky won’t be able to make his set tomorrow [Sunday]," Wireless Festival tweeted.

"We’ve been busy making calls….and now we’re hyped to say London’s J Hus is joining the line-up and Rae Sremmurd will close the show."

Wireless Festival takes place on 6 and 7 July.
