The clamour from fans across Africa, especially on social media, backed by the desire of the sponsors to see a bigger representation of African unity, the concert promoters along with the top artistes decided to add at least six more African countries to the line-up, a decision that has inadvertently led to the postponement of the concert. The postponement will give room to amplify the already confirmed colossal line-up to include celebrated talents from various other African countries further promoting African unity.
What was set to be merely an evening concert will now transform into a full-day festival and include top artists from Ghana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Cameroon, and Angola.
"The concert line-up, which included artists from South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya and Mozambique just didn't feel complete. We, as a collective, felt we needed to be true to the core message of the concert. We decided to include more countries, thereby pushing back the concert by one month, and amplify the AMC experience in the true spirit of African unity," said concert promoter Lucille Gumbi.
The African Music Concert 2015 will still feature the original confirmed line-up as initially advertised. The full list of all new talent inclusions will be announced later this month.
Gates will now open at 12pm and ticket prices will remain the same.
Concert-goers who have already purchased tickets for the show this weekend have the option either to return their tickets for a full refund or to exchange their tickets at a Computicket outlet for the new festival date next month.
The VAS Company, together with all stakeholders and sponsors, apologises for any inconvenience caused.
