Nigerian singer, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has put her planned Abuja concert on hold over unresolved venue arrangements, assuring fans who purchased tickets that they would receive refunds.
The singer announced the development on Saturday in a message to her fans, apologising to those who had looked forward to the performance.
“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 decision, Simi said arrangements with the venue had not come together as expected, despite her earlier announcement of the concert.
“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 added.
The Abuja edition of SimiLive was scheduled for December 12, 2026, at 21 Arena, Arts and Crafts Village, Central Business District, Abuja.
Simi apologised to fans who had already purchased tickets and directed them to Partyverse for refunds.
“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,” she said.
The singer, however, did not announce a new date for the Abuja concert or specify when the refunds would be completed.
Meanwhile, she reassured her Lagos fans that her concert scheduled for December 5 would still hold, although the venue had been changed to Livespot Entertarium.
“LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue,” she said, adding that the doors would open at 6 pm.
She encouraged interested fans to purchase tickets through her official website.
Simi, known for songs including ‘Duduke’, ‘Joromi’ and ‘Love Don’t Care’, has built a following for her soulful vocals and songwriting.
