Originally published by AllHipHop Read the original
Erykah Badu is reshuffling her European tour schedule this month, and she’s making sure her supporters know how much she values their commitment.
The neo-soul icon announced on October 10 that unforeseen circumstances forced her to cancel five previously scheduled performances across Paris, Milan, Sofia, and Katowice, though she’s keeping her London, Amsterdam, Brussels, and Basel dates locked in.
She’s not glossing over the impact on fans who’ve already made travel plans and purchased tickets for those canceled shows.
In a statement, Badu expressed genuine appreciation for her audience’s understanding and flexibility during this shift.
She recognizes that people invested real time, money, and effort into attending these performances, and she’s not taking that lightly.
The confirmed dates moving forward include back-to-back shows at Blue Note London on October 10 and 11, followed by performances at Koninklijk Theater Carré in Amsterdam on October 13, Bozar in Brussels on October 14, and the Baloise Session in Basel on October 15.
These venues are among Europe’s most prestigious performance spaces, and ticket holders for the remaining dates can proceed with their plans.
The canceled performances were scheduled for October 18 in Paris at Le Grand Rex, October 19 and 20 in Milan at Teatro Nazionale, October 23 in Sofia at the National Palace of Culture, and October 25 in Katowice at the International Congress Centre.
Badu’s tour marks a significant moment for the artist as she celebrates the 25th anniversary of her landmark album Mama’s Gun.
The artist’s transparency and respect for her audience’s investment explain why she’s maintained such a loyal following over decades in the music industry.
