Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has cancelled the Abuja edition of her SimiLive concert over unresolved venue arrangements while announcing a new location for her December performance in Lagos.
The singer disclosed the changes in a message to fans on Saturday, expressing regret over the decision and apologising to those who had already purchased tickets for the Abuja show.
Simi said discussions and logistical arrangements with the Abuja venue had failed to progress as expected, despite her earlier announcement of the concert.

“It hurts my heart to say this, but we have to put the SimiLive ABUJA show on hold for right now,” she said.
Explaining the circumstances surrounding the decision, the singer admitted that she had announced the concert date hoping the outstanding arrangements would be completed before the event.
“Logistics with the venue have not come together as well as I had hoped,” she said, adding that she did not want to disappoint her audience by proceeding without adequate preparations.
She assured ticket holders that payments for the Abuja concert would be refunded, directing them to Partyverse to process their refunds.
“We are going to refund all purchased tickets for the SIMILive ABUJA show,” she said.
While the Abuja concert has been put on hold, Simi confirmed that her Lagos performance would proceed as scheduled on December 5, but at a different venue.
The singer announced Livespot Entertarium as the new location, assuring fans that other arrangements for the show remained unchanged.
She said the venue would open its doors at 6pm and encouraged fans yet to purchase tickets to do so through her official website.
“LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue,” she told fans.
Simi is known for hit songs including Duduke, Joromi and Love Don't Care.
