Burna Boy’s Johannesburg show has been cancelled. His management issued a statement that the show has been ‘cancelled’ and ticketholders must be ‘refunded in full’.
Sadly, it is with great regret that we must inform you that, despite my team’s effort, the show in Johannesburg on Sept 23rd will be cancelled due to the inability of the promoters to fulfil their contractual, financial, production and technical obligations. Production vendors have apparently 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. We hereby state that all ticketing companies must ensure that everyone is refunded in full.
UPDATE (19/09): 13:15
According to a statement Ticketpro, the event was postponed due to low ticket sales and other logistic issues.

The Nigerian superstar was booked to fill the +90,000-capacity FNB Stadium, coming fresh off selling out the 80,000-capacity London Stadium and recently the 41,800-seat Citi Field in Queens, NY.
His last show in South Africa was in 2022, where he headlined the DStv Delicious Festival, which sparked controversy and faced backlash from fans.
