Nigerian singer Simi has suspended plans for her upcoming Abuja concert due to unresolved logistical issues involving the venue.
The singer announced the decision in an Instagram post, apologising to fans who had bought tickets and made arrangements to attend the event.
The Abuja edition of her SimiLive concert was scheduled to take place on December 12, 2026.
“It hurts my heart to say this, but we have to put the SimiLive ABUJA show on hold for right now,” she said.
Simi said discussions with the venue had not progressed as expected, despite her earlier announcement of the concert date.
“Logistics with the venue have not come together as well as I had hoped. I announced the date in hopes that everything would work out in time, but they haven’t yet, and I don’t want to fail you,” she said.
“You’ve been buying tickets and getting excited, and I’m so sorry to disappoint you. We are going to refund all purchased tickets for the SIMILive ABUJA show – cc @partyverseapp”
Meanwhile, she reassured fans that the Lagos edition of the concert would go ahead as scheduled on December 5, although the venue has been changed to Livespot Entertarium.
She said the doors would open at 6pm, adding that other arrangements for the Lagos show remained unchanged.
“SimiArmy LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue,” she said
“LIVESPOT ENTERTARIUM. Nothing else has changed. December 5th. Doors open 6pm. The Banjos and I are so ready for you. Tickets are limited. If you still wanna come, hurry up!!!”
