Michael Kiwanuka has recently announced the postponement of his upcoming tour to March 2021. Affected by the continuing crisis of COVID-19, the shows are forced to undergo another delay. The singer imparted bad news on his social media.
“UK folks, with respect to and in line with the Covid guidelines we have had to push the tour dates back to next year. If you’ve bought a ticket, it will remain valid so keep a hold of it. Really missing playing live for you and can’t wait to get back out on the road to pick up where we left off! Love and miss y’all and hope you’re keeping safe,” said the 33-year-old singer.
It is another day, another unfortunate event in the music scene. This time, the “You Ain’t the Problem” crooner is the latest performer in the country to push back his shows. Kiwanuka is forced to do this one more time after previously announcing that the tour would be taking off this coming September.
However, the silver lining is the London-born artist has upgraded the Glasgow show to a bigger venue at O2 Academy, which is also the first gig to kick off the run. The rescheduled dates can be seen below.
Elsewhere, Kiwanuka recently snatched a huge achievement with a nomination for the Hyundai 2020 Mercury Prize. His eponymous third studio album made it to the shortlist of the prestigious award alongside other impressive acts, such as Charli XCX (‘how i’m feeling now‘), Dua Lipa (‘Future Nostalgia‘), Sports Team (‘Deep Down Happy‘), and Stormzy (‘Heavy Is the Head‘).
Let’s celebrate Kiwanuka’s success with one of his monumental works from the ‘KIWANUKA‘ album and be a little more patient for his show next year.
