Initially planned for the 8th, Buju Banton‘s concert has been postponed and is now scheduled for February 15th at the KICC in Nairobi, Kenya. Please see below the official press release from the organizers, NRG Radio, explaining why they had to push back the show.
To all Kenyans and Buju Fans;
Thank you all so much, especially the thousands of you who have purchased tickets to the much anticipated Buju Bunton Concert which was slated for this Saturday- 8th Feb 2020 at KICC. Unfortunately, and in the spirit of celebrating and in honour of the presidential proclamation on the passing away of H.E Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi – we have been forced to postpone the event following the announcement of a period of National Mourning. The viewing of the Former president Moi’s body is slated for Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th at parliament which presents a logistical challenge to host the event at KICC.
In this regard and with close consultation with the Government and the venue management- we have postponed the event from 8th February 2020 to 15th February 2020, at the same venue- KICC from 6pm. Please be advised that we shall honour all the tickets already purchased, all sponsors and Partners. Our line-up remains the same and Buju Bunton is fired up to deliver a great show. We are committed to ensure that we live up to all our fans expectations.
