By Paul GlynnEntertainment reporter
UK rapper Slowthai 's name has been removed from the official line-up poster for this year's Glastonbury Festival , as well Reading and Leeds, after he was charged with rape.
The 28-year-old, real name Tyron Frampton, charged with two counts of raping A Woman in September 2021.
The rapper has posted online to say he " categorically denies the charges".
He is expected to appear before Oxford Crown Court on 15 June .
Slowthai said: " Regarding the allegations being reported about me. I categorically deny the charges. I Am innocent and I Am confident my name will be cleared.
" Until then, I will apply my energy to ensure this is concluded swiftly and justly. "
He added: " I ask that my supporters don't comment on this situation and respect The Process and privacy of My Family during This Time . "
Slowthai appeared before Oxford Magistrates' Court via video link from his home in Northampton on Tuesday, speaking only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
The Grammy-nominated rapper had originally been due to perform at Worthy Farm sometime between 21-25 June but that now appears to be in doubt.

Who is Slowthai ?The Northampton-born star arrived on to The Scene with his politically-driven 2019 debut album, Nothing Great About Britain , which was nominated for the Mercury Prize .
At the awards ceremony, its creator caused the biggest stir of The Night by holding aloft a dummy of the then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson 's severed head while performing Doorman - a track about wealth disparity in modern Britain.
, he explained The Song , like the rest of his album, aimed to give a voice to " The People from small communities that have been forgotten about".
" It's time To Let people in, " He Said . " Everyone, the lower class, the Middle Class , and even the ones in the upper who feel their life is hard. "
Slowthai was nominated for best dance recording at the Grammy Awards in 2021, for My High - a collaboration with Disclosure and Aminé. The same year, his second album, Tyron, topped the UK chart.
Having previously featured on a Gorillaz track, Slowthai has been booked to open for Damon Albarn 's other band Blur at Wembley Stadium In July .
