Akon Concert Postponed

Fans of R & B Superstar Akon need only to wait a bit longer as his March-scheduled concert -Spring Break Sizzle - has been postponed due to delays in securing a Cayman temporary work permit for the headline act.

“This really is just a minor setback,” states Kenny Rankin of Monster Media, which is producing the event. “We anticipated some delays – although not as long as this – and we are confident that the Cayman Islands Immigration Department is simply doing its job in making sure we only get the highest caliber of performer here.”

The concert was originally scheduled for Saturday, 22 March at the Treehouse. The concert will now take place at a future date pending Akon’s availability and immigration approval. Organisers state, however, that most other planned elements will remain the same.

“There may be some shifts in supporting talent and the like because of the date change,” he stated. “However, we are going to leave the formula the same. We have an outstanding lineup of very supportive sponsors and everyone is on board to use the extra time to make this the best show possible.”
