Michael Kiwanuka Reschedules UK Dates Following Laryngitis
Tickets for the original gigs remain valid for the rearranged performances.
Michael Kiwanuka has rescheduled his UK tour dates for later in the year after the remainder of his shows were previously postponed for health reasons. However, unlike the majority of recent live dates, which have been cancelled or postponed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Kiwanuka was forced to abandon his tour after being diagnosed with acute viral laryngitis earlier in the month.
Having now recovered from laryngitis, the singer has now advised that his spring shows in Glasgow, Newcastle, Manchester, Cambridge, London, Leicester and Leeds have been moved to August and September. All tickets for the original gigs remain valid for the rearranged performances.
“Pleased to announce rescheduled UK tour dates, original tickets remain valid,” Kiwanuka tweeted. “Hope you can make it. Thanks for being patient. Keep safe and well.”
Kiwanuka released his third album, KIWANUKA, on 25 October, which featured the singles, ‘You Ain’t The Problem’ and ‘Hero’. The highly-anticipated follow-up to his chart-topping and Mercury-nominated Love & Hate saw Kiwanuka reuniting with the production duo Danger Mouse and Inflo.
The 32-year-old is still due to play Green Man Festival 2020 as well as a massive show at London’s Alexandra Palace later this year. His previously confirmed concerts at Dublin’s Trinity College on 29 June and Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens on 11 August also remain unaffected. In Edinburgh, Kiwanuka will appear on a bill which also includes The 1975, Tom Jones and Lionel Richie.
