Nigerian artist Burna Boy has rescheduled a live concert that was originally planned for this weekend in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The concert, originally booked at the 90,000-capacity FNB Stadium, will now take place on 16 December, according to the event’s ticketing agency.
Ticket Pro cited several reasons for the postponement, including a “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”.
It said that the ticketing businesses had to make sure that ticket holders received a complete refund.
“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.
