Fans of the Grammy-winning R&B singer-songwriter Maxwell were looking forward to his concerts in South Africa, but have now been met with disappointment as the performances have been officially cancelled.
Cancellation announcement
Promoter Vertex Events announced the cancellation of Maxwell’s concerts, initially scheduled for August 8 in Pretoria and August 11 in Cape Town. This decision was made due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the artist’s control.
According to Vertex Events, several options were explored with Maxwell’s management to facilitate the concerts, but ultimately none were viable, leading to the difficult decision to cancel.
Maxwell’s statement to fans
Maxwell expressed his regret over the cancellation in a heartfelt message to his South African fans, apologising for the disappointment and emphasizing that the decision was not made lightly.
Promoter Vertex Events reported that they attempted to reschedule the concerts for 2026. However, no suitable dates could be confirmed due to unavoidable scheduling conflicts.
Refund
For fans who purchased tickets, Vertex Events confirmed that full refunds would be provided. Customers can expect to be contacted directly by Webtickets regarding the refund process.
Despite this setback, Maxwell is committed to returning to South Africa, with Vertex Events already in discussions to secure new concert dates in 2027.
