Ace Nigerian singer, David Adeleke better known as Davido will not be performing at this year’s ‘Are We African Yet?’ (A.W.A.Y) festival, earlier scheduled to hold at the 20,000-capacity State Farm Arena in Atlanta Georgia, USA on November 18, 2022.
This development means fans of the music star will now have to wait for another year, after the festival management announced the event has been postponed to Saturday, November 18, 2023.
The organisers of the festival, while apologising for the date change, said that A.W.A.Y was moved due to the sudden death of Davido’s son, Ifeanyi.
According to them, the singer will need time to be with his family and loved ones after the tragic and sad loss.

However, a statement issued to this effect, suggested that tickets already purchased by the fans of the bereaved music star for this year’s event will still be valid for the next edition.
The statement read: “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.”
