FARRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Bad news for those who bought tix to Skepta‘s upcoming Aussie / NZ tour – he’s just cancelled all 11 dates.
It was only hours ago that the Brit grime master performed at the 25th Mercury Prize in London, where he also took out the night’s top honours.

The official statement is short and not-at-all sweet, offering pretty much no explanation as to why so many of our dreams are now crushed only one day out from the planned start date (the first show was scheduled for Saturday, September 17, in Perth):
“With deep disappointment, Skepta is not able to travel to Australia and New Zealand at this time for an unexpected and personal reason. His tour, planned to commence on Saturday 17 September 2016 is regrettably cancelled. Full ticket refunds will be available on all shows from point of purchase. We are working in close conjunction with the Artist’s booking agency and management in order to organise a new run of shows in 2017.”
The only positive takeaway is that a rescheduled run of shows is on the cards for 2017.
You should receive an email from your local ticketing agency with deets on how to obtain a full refund, or you can get in touch with the point of purchase.
