Nigerian artist Burna Boy has rescheduled his live concert originally set for this weekend in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The event, initially planned at the 90,000-capacity FNB Stadium, has been postponed to the 16th of December, according to the event’s ticketing agency, Ticket Pro.
The postponement is attributed to various factors, including a reported lack of ticket sales.
But Burna Boy’s management company, Spaceship, is quoted by Nigerian media as blaming the concert’s promoters for not fulfilling their “contractual, financial, production and technical obligations”.
The statement emphasized that ticketing companies are responsible for ensuring that all ticketholders receive full refunds.
“Sadly, it is with great regret that we must inform you that, despite my team’s effort, the show in Johannesburg… will be cancelled,” the Punch newspaper quotes the management company as saying in a statement.
“Production vendors have still not been paid and as such, it is evident at this point that the agreed production standard needed for this venue size cannot be achieved,” it adds.
“Deepest apologies to all fans, looking forward to seeing you all soon,” it added.
