Jazz Legends with Hugh Masekela postponed
New date for concert will be confirmed.
Carnival City regrets to confirm that the much anticipated Soulful Nights: Jazz Legends Edition with Hugh Masekela has been postponed until further notice.
The event, set to feature Caiphus Semenya, Bhudaza and Dumza Maswana, was scheduled to take place at the Big Top Arena on June 17.
The concert has been postponed following an injury sustained by Masekela after a fall during a trip to Morocco in April.
He dislocated his shoulder which exacerbated an old injury.
He has since undergone surgery and requires eight weeks of recovery.
This means that he will only be well enough to perform again after August.
Masekela is deeply regretful about disappointing his fans but his health must be prioritised.
“Although we know that fans will be disappointed, we understand that the postponement is necessary and we fully support the decision as Hugh Masekela’s health is most important.
“We wish him well during his recuperation.
“A new date for the concert will be confirmed for later in the year,” said Carnival City’s marketing manager, Michelle Smith.
All purchased/booked tickets for the concert are fully refundable.
Those who have booked tickets to the event can contact Computicket for a refund.
Tickets can also be retained for the concert later this year.
A new date will be confirmed.
