“Visas were denied” – Arya Starr’s SA shows in Joburg and Cape Town canceled.
Ayra Starr’s shows in Cape Town and Johannesburg on February 16 and 17 have been canceled, as confirmed by an official statement released earlier today by In The City and Steyn Entertainment.
The Nigerian-Beninese superstar was revealed as the official headlining act for the much-awaited annual music and lifestyle event, In The City, last month.
The statement claimed that Ayra Starr’s and her team’s denial of visas was the reason for the cancellation.
“We regret to announce the cancellation of both ‘In the City Ayra Starr’ Shows scheduled to take place in Joburg and Cape Town, South Africa on 16 and 17 February 2024.
Regrettably, as has happened numerous times with other artists from West Africa – through no fault of their own, visas were denied. All ticket holders will be fully refunded within 7 working days.
We thank you for your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the upcoming shows.”
