Afrobeats singer Simi has postponed her SimiLive Abuja concert due to unresolved venue logistics, while confirming that the Lagos edition will proceed as scheduled at a new venue.

In a statement shared on Instagram on Saturday, Simi said the Abuja show was put on hold after venue arrangements failed to come together as expected.

“It hurts my heart to say this, but we have to put the SimiLive ABUJA show on hold for right now,” she said.

“Logistics with the venue have not come together as well as I had hoped. I announced the date in hopes that everything would work out in time, but they haven’t yet, and I don’t want to fail you,” she added.

The singer apologised to fans who had already purchased tickets and expressed enthusiasm for the show.

“You’ve been buying tickets and getting excited, and I’m so sorry to disappoint you,” she said.

She confirmed that all purchased tickets for the Abuja show would be refunded.

“We are going to refund all purchased tickets for the SIMILive ABUJA show,” she said.

On the Lagos concert, Simi reassured fans that the date and time remain unchanged, with only the venue affected.

“SimiArmy LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue – LIVESPOT ENTERTAINMENT. Nothing else has changed—December 5th. Doors open at 6pm,” she said.

She said she and her band, The Banjos, are prepared for the Lagos audience and urged fans to secure their tickets early.

“The Banjos and I are so ready for you. Tickets are limited. If you still wanna come, hurry up!!!” she added. (The Nation)
