Statement (15/6/22)

Hello

It is with great regret that we must once again postpone our shows in Europe.
Despite applying in time, we are informed by the UK embassy delays occasioned by the Ukraine Crisis it has become increasingly difficult to procure the necessary travel Visa’s in a timely matter. It's with heavy hearts that we disappoint fans and only hope to make it up to everyone that looked forward to joining us.
We are working with the UK venues and promoters to have the rescheduled dates announced next week when we have word of when the UK visas will be granted.
All tickets will remain valid.

Nairobi, Kenya, May 20, 2023 — We are excited to announce that Sauti Sol, Africa's sensational musical powerhouse, will embark on an exhilarating tour stopping in 5 cities across the U.S, followed by 10 stops in Europe and 4 stops in Canada before taking an indefinite hiatus. This tour is a celebration of their remarkable journey, filled with excitement for the future, and a testament to the enduring bond of friendship and partnership built over 20 years in the industry.

The upcoming tour across the US, Europe, and Canada is a chance for fans to immerse themselves in the magic of Sauti Sol one last time, before the band takes a break from group projects for a while. Each performance will be infused with a sense of deep love and gratitude, as the ensemble delivers their timeless hits and fan favourites that have left an indelible mark on our collective memories.

While the indefinite hiatus marks the end of a specific chapter, it also represents a new beginning for Sauti Sol. As close friends and business partners, the band members, Bien-Aimé Baraza, Willis Chimano, Polycarp Otieno, and Savara Mudigi, are eager to explore fresh creative avenues and embark on personal endeavours. However, their friendship and shared vision will continue to be the driving force behind their future projects.

"Sauti Sol has been an incredible journey for us, both as musicians and friends," shared the band members. "We are filled with gratitude for the love and support we have received throughout the years. While we take this hiatus to pursue our individual and collective passions, we remain committed to our friendship and our shared businesses. The bond between us is unbreakable, and we are excited for what the future holds."

Ensuring their hometown fans get to experience the magic of this tour, Sauti Sol will also be gracing the stage for two landmark performances alongside Boyz II Men (on the 10th and 11th of June 2023), which will be a meeting of musical legends creating an experience that will be etched in the annals of history. Sauti Sol’s encore performance will take place at the third annual Sol Fest in Nairobi, on 16th of December 2023.

This tour promises to be an unforgettable experience, a symphony of nostalgia,gratitude, and good vibes.

Adding to the excitement, Sauti Sol will also be dropping their last album together this year, which promises to be a fitting reflection of their musical journey as a band. Fans can look forward to a new single coming very soon, which will be a taste of what's to come from the band's final album.

Join Sauti Sol on this somewhat sentimental tour as they traverse the US, Europe, and Canada, carrying with them the collective memories of a generation. It will be a cherished opportunity to reflect on the magic they have created, and to relive the moments that have made their music an integral part of our lives.
