Michael Kiwanuka has postponed his planned UK headline tour for a second time – check out the new dates below.

The London singer-songwriter was due to hit the road later this month in support of his Mercury Prize-winning third album, ‘KIWANUKA’. He had previously been forced to cancel a portion of his spring 2020 tour after being diagnosed with acute viral laryngitis.

Taking to social media today (March 3), Kiwanuka confirmed that his UK tour will now take place in May 2022. “Sending love and thank you for your patience folks,” he wrote in the caption.

Tickets purchased for the previous dates will be rolled over. You can find any remaining passes here.

“I want you all to know that it truly is an understatement when I say how much I’ve missed seeing you out on the road at shows,” Kiwanuka explained in a handwritten message, which you can see below.

“I was so excited to give you Kiwanuka live. Myself and the band had been working hard to put together a live show that reflects how much your love and support means to me.

“However, even though we’ve been receiving some very good news through the vaccine, and we can now see the light at the end of the tunnel, I will sadly still have to postpone the planned UK tour.”

He added: “I say this with a heavy heart, and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think about how grateful I will be when we can finally experience the joy of live music again. I cannot wait to see you.”

Previously announced concerts for Dublin and Edinburgh this summer remain unaffected, with the dates falling after the government’s proposed plan to remove all COVID restrictions by June 21.
