On Wednesday (March 26), FKA Twigs announced an unsightly message on her Instagram account, because your upcoming tour through North America has to be canceled. Future dates, for example in Europe, are not affected. Find out more about the backgrounds here.
No timely entry permit
The musician was supposed to appear in Chicago on the evening of March 26, in a few days in Toronto and New York. For the first time since 2019, she would have played her music in the United States. But as she explained in the socials, she and her team have visa problems. “Today I was informed that production did not fill out the right paperwork in time so that we can get our visas for entry into the USA and for appearances,” said the singer. “This means that I have to cancel my shows in New York, Chicago and Toronto without my intervention.”
Although Toronto is in Canada, the show must also be canceled. The British only said: “For those among you who are wondering why I have to cancel Toronto, although it is not part of the United States, it is due to the route and the complex nature of touring.”
For understanding: Artists: Inside who want to appear in the States without American citizenship, either need a P or O-1 visa. Application for these permits is more complex and time -consuming than a simple entry permit.
“I’m completely destroyed”
The cancellation of the concerts seems to be very burdened by FKA Twigs, because it continues: “I don’t take it lightly. I am completely on the ground to be honest. Completely inconsolable. Everything I want is to be with you and bring you Eusexua.” She would “actively investigate how and why this happened” and promised to inform as soon as possible about new appointments.
The appearances in North America should be part of their world tour for the current album Eusexua. The remaining concerts in Mexico and Europe do not seem to be affected by the possible entry problems. Your gig on April 19 in San Francisco should also take place as planned.
Berlin-Show should still take place
On May 30th, FKA Twigs will also come to Germany and will perform in Berlin in the Uber Eats Music Hall – with this show from March to the two months later.
