Why Sauti Sol Had To Cancel Today’s Concert Dubbed ‘Sol Saturday’

Kenyan band, Sauti Sol has explained why they were forced to cancel their much-anticipated concert titled ‘Sol Saturday,‘ which was scheduled to go down today.

Sauti Sol said they wanted to entertain their fans, but they cannot do so because they cannot guarantee their health and safety, which is their top priority.

They added that they had been notified that the size of the event would not meet the set Covid-19 protocols, and attempts to find a solution with the promoters were unsuccessful.

Sauti Sol said they will refund the promoters the full performance fee they had been paid, to facilitate refunds to individuals.

Here is Sauti Sol’s statement;

“TO OUR FANS

WE REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT WE SHALL NOT BE PERFORMING AT TODAY’S SCHEDULED “SOL SATURDAY” EVENT. ALTHOUGH WE DEEPLY DESIRE TO GIVE YOU A MARVELOUS SHOW, WE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE ASSURE YOUR HEATLTH AND SAFETY WHICH IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY.

WE WERE RECENTLY MADE AWARE THAT THE EVENT SIZE DOESN’T COMPLY WITH KENYAN COVID-19 PROTOCOLS AND REGULATIONS. TOGETHER WITH THE PROMOTERS TUKUTANE ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED AND MASSHOUSE GROUP LIMITED, WE TRIED HARD TO MITIGATE THE SITUATION, HOWEVER WE COULD NOT COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON THE BEST WAY FORWARD.

WITH THE RECENT UPTICK IN CONFIRMED INFECTIONS AND DEATHS AROUND THE WORLD WE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE RECKLESSLY ENDANGER YOUR WELL BEING.

WE SHALL BE REFUNDING THE PROMOTERS, TUKUTANE ENTERTAINMENT LIMITED AND MASSHOUSE GROUP LIMITED THE FULL PERFORMANCE FEES DULY PAID TO US WITHOUT DELAY SO THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE SWIFT REFUNDS TO YOU.

IT IS DISHEARTENING AND UNFORTUNATE , BUT NECESSARY AND WE HOPE TO APPEAR ON STAGE AGAIN AS SOON AS WE CAN DO SO SAFELY AND RESPONSIBLY. STAY SAFE.
