Santogold’s management announced today that due to the artist’s health issues, Santogold has to cancel a serios of shows, including the concert scheduled for B'ESTFEST on 6th of July, the third day of the festival.
At this moment we (Emag!c Entertainment) are looking at several options to replace Santogold on the B’Estfest shedule and we will communicate the new act that will replace Santogold as soon as possible.
Hereunder you’ll find the mail from Santogold’s agent Andy Duggan, which contains an apology for the fans:
Dear Guido,
Is it with deep regret that Santogold will have to cancel the scheduled performance at B’Estfest.
On professional medical advice (medical attest in annex), we have been told to vastly reduce the amount of shows and performances until her voice fully recovers, so we have had to cut around 1/3rd of all performances over the summer period.
We are deeply sad about this turn of events, but unfortunately this problem has only arisen in the last 4 weeks or so, with Santi’s voice being lost on more than a few occasions.
As I’m sure you can appreciate, we can only operate on a lesser scale until she fully recovers, and that her long term health is of paramount importance at the moment.
We hope to make it up to you at some later point this year or next, and please pass on our best to the fans of the shows and festivals, as well as everyone involved in the promotions side.
