The cancellation affects some of the biggest venues in the U.S. and Europe, including:
• Madison Square Garden in New York (June 7)
• State Farm Arena in Atlanta (June 5)
• Toyota Center in Houston (June 19)
• Scotiabank Arena in Toronto (June 11)

This move comes just weeks before the shows were set to begin, creating a wave of confusion and speculation online.
Why Did Wizkid Cancel the Shows?
Wizkid hasn’t issued a detailed statement. However, sources close to the artist have pointed to personal reasons and low ticket sales.
One of his team members, Godson, took to social media to mention that Wizkid is still processing the passing of his mother, which has deeply affected him. At the same time, reports have circulated that ticket sales for certain cities were not meeting expectations, which might have played a role in the decision.
Some insiders also believe the team may be rethinking the structure of the tour to focus more on markets where demand is stronger.
What Happens to Fans Who Bought Tickets?
Fans who already purchased tickets are advised to check with their ticket provider for refunds. Most platforms like Ticketmaster and Live Nation have already started the refund process for the affected dates.
If you bought a ticket through a third-party reseller, it’s important to reach out to their customer service directly.
Is the Tour Still Happening?
Yes, parts of the Morayo tour are still on. The Los Angeles show at the Hollywood Bowl (June 22) is still listed as active, and it’s expected to go ahead as planned. Jamaican artist Shenseea is set to join Wizkid on stage, and fans are hoping it’ll be one of the biggest Afrobeats nights of the year.
For those in other cities, there’s hope that new dates could be announced later. However, until there’s official word, it’s best to stay tuned to Wizkid’s official pages for updates.
What Are Fans Saying?
Reactions online have been mixed. Some fans are sympathetic, noting how difficult it must be for the artist to perform after such a personal loss. Others are frustrated, especially those who made travel plans or took time off work for the concerts.
Regardless of where fans stand, the buzz around Wizkid’s upcoming performances remains strong. His influence in Afrobeats continues to grow globally, and many believe he’ll bounce back with an even better tour plan.
What This Means for Afrobeats in the Global Scene
Wizkid’s international tours have played a huge part in pushing Afrobeats into the spotlight. Though this setback is disappointing, it also shows that artists in the genre are navigating the same real-world challenges as any global superstar.
There’s no doubt that fans will be watching closely for his next move.
