Busta Rhymes and Jason Derulo will be performing in South Africa this weekend at The DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival. This comes after Janet Jackson had to cancel her performance due to the passing of her brother, Tito Jackson.
Busta Rhymes and Jason Derulo will headline the Saturday, 21 September date, bringing their legendary hip-hop and pop energy.
In a statement from the festival organisers “We send our deepest condolences and support to Janet and her family during this time of mourning.”
“We understand that many fans were excited to see Janet Jackson perform, and the Festival’s Management Team is actively working on securing a suitable international replacement headliner to ensure an unforgettable experience.”
In communication with the Festival’s Management Team, Janet Jackson’s management team shared the following: “Janet’s brother Tito passed away this past Sunday. For obvious reasons, Janet has to cancel her performance at the DStv Delicious Festival to be with family. Management is making plans to come back next year. Janet also wishes to thank all of her South African fans for the warm and heartfelt support she’s receiving at this difficult time.”
It has been confirmed that ticket holders will be able to exchange their Saturday, 21 September tickets to Sunday, 22 September via Ticketmaster between 20:00PM Tuesday, 17 September and 23:59 Wednesday 18 September.
The festival will feature Jill Scott along with local talent, including Sjava, Thandiswa Mazwai, and the Soweto Gospel Choir.
