“It hurts my heart to say this, but we have to put the SimiLive ABUJA show on hold for right now,” Simi said.
Why the show was paused
Simi said the venue arrangements did not come together 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.
She did not disclose the original Abuja venue, the exact cause of the logistics problem, or a new date for the postponed concert.
Refunds for ticket holders
Simi assured fans that all purchased tickets for the Abuja show would be refunded.
“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.
She directed ticket holders to Partyverse for their refunds. Fans should retain their payment confirmation, ticket reference and the contact details used for the purchase while awaiting the refund.
Simi reassured Lagos fans that her concert scheduled for December 5 would still hold, although it has been moved to a new venue.
“LAGOS DON’T PANIC! See you on the 5th of December. We’re moving to a new venue,” she said.
The new Lagos venue is Livespot Entertarium. Simi said other arrangements remain unchanged, with doors expected to open at 6pm, and encouraged fans yet to buy tickets to use her official website.
Abuja ticket holders should monitor Partyverse for refund updates and avoid paying anyone who claims to be processing a “special refund” outside the official platform.
Lagos attendees should confirm the new venue before making travel plans, as the December 5 show will no longer hold at its previous location. Simi is known for songs including Duduke, Joromi and Love Don’t Care.
