Davido‘s management also apologized for disappointing his fans and promised to come back with a bigger and better show on Saturday, November 18, 2023.
The statement reads: “We have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone A.W.A.Y Festival until Saturday, November 18, 2023.
“To all ticket buyers, your tickets will be honored for the 2023 date. We understand that you must be disappointed but we promise to come back with a bigger and better show.
“Thank you for understanding and we look forward to seeing you all in the near future.
