Burna Boy, the Afro-fusion singer, has called off his highly anticipated concert in the Netherlands.
The singer was scheduled to perform at the Johan Cruyff Arena Stadium on June 9.
The 55,000-capacity stadium also allows as high as 71,000 people for concerts.
But in a post via his Instagram story on Thursday, Burna Boy said the concert was called off because the organisers “failed to meet their contractual obligations”.
He also apologised to his fans and confirmed that all tickets would be refunded within 30 days.
“We regret to inform you that due to a failure by the event organisers to meet their contracted obligations, Burna Boy’s concert at the stadium on June 9th 2024 has been cancelled,” he wrote.
“All ticket buyers will be refunded from point of purchase within 30 days. Love you and see you soon.”
This is not the first time the Grammy-winning singer will be cancelling a show over unmet obligations.
In September 2023, the music star cancelled a South Africa show over “contractual, financial, production, and technical obligations”.
He also cancelled his ‘Love Damini’ concert in the Netherlands back in June 2023 as well.
Burna Boy is currently on his North American tour named after his latest album, ‘I Told Them’.
