Skepta previewed three unreleased songs from his forthcoming album ‘Fork & Knife’ during his Reading Festival set on 28 August, giving festivalgoers their first chance to hear the material. The performance also featured Nigerian artist Slawn, who spray-painted live, and a moment supporting two security guards who reportedly lost their jobs after dancing to Skepta and Playboi Carti’s ‘Toxic’.

The new tracks were ‘Pandora’s Box’, ‘Aloe Vera’ and ‘Innocent Smile’; ‘Fork & Knife’ has no announced release date. It will be Skepta’s first full album since 2019’s ‘Ignorance Is Bliss’, following his house-influenced EP ‘Más Tiempo Vol. 2’, and he was due to perform at Leeds Festival the following day.
