Why Artists Cancel Tours - Singer, Ric Hassani

Ric Hassani, the popular Nigerian singer, has attributed concert tour cancellations to various factors beyond the artist’s control.

In an interview on HipTV, Hassani said high-level production shows involve multiple stakeholders, including touring companies and management teams, which can lead to cancellations due to issues like contractual disputes or poor ticket sales.

According to Hassani, it’s not always the artist’s decision to cancel a tour, citing the complexity of the industry and the many parties involved.

He said, “I do not know why that happens. I feel like a lot of artists who cancel their tours, there are a lot of other companies that are involved, from touring companies to management companies, on that level. Maybe some funny contracts somewhere, or maybe it could be ticket sales or whatever.

“This is our job, this is our career, we sacrifice a lot to perform. I believe it might be entirely the artist’s decision. So, these levels of tours that are being cancelled are high-level production shows, if you check it. There are a lot of people and companies involved, so it can be cancelled for whatever reason”.
