Grammy-nominated singer Davido has announced the cancellation of his upcoming performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3rd.
In a statement on Instagram, he cited unresolved issues with the event’s execution, particularly regarding key elements necessary for a high-quality performance.
Davido emphasised that despite strong fan support and ticket sales, his commitment to upholding the integrity of his craft and respect for his fans and culture stands.
He added that the rest of his summer tour dates, however, remain on schedule.
The statement reads: “Over the past few weeks, I have extended my full support and professionalism to The Necto Future Group, promoters of @iconicpresents, with the sincere intention of delivering a performance that meets the high standards my fans deserve.
Despite strong fan support and impressive ticket sales, there have been major misalignments regarding the event’s execution, particularly concerning key elements required to uphold the integrity and quality of my performance.
“Unfortunately, these issues remain unresolved. As a result, I regret to inform you that I will no longer be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 3rd. Please note, the show still holds, but without Davido.
“My team and I have worked tirelessly in preparation, and I am incredibly grateful to the thousands of fans who purchased tickets in anticipation. This decision is not a reflection of turnout or support; it is a matter of principle and respect for my craft, my fans, and the culture I represent.
“London, I’ll see you guys soon, I promise! Rest of the shows this summer are still happening. 5ive is still alive! See you guys in Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Canada and the US! Africa must be respected.”
