Asake’s Los Angeles concert cancellation has left fans disappointed after the Nigerian Afrobeats star’s highly anticipated show at The Greek Theatre was called off just hours before it was scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 6, 2026.
The concert was part of Asake’s ongoing In God We Trust World Tour, which has taken the singer to major cities across North America and is scheduled to continue with international dates. However, fans who were expecting to see him perform in Los Angeles have now been left with cancelled tickets, automatic refunds and one major unanswered question: why was the show called off?
Asake Los Angeles concert cancelled
The Los Angeles date was scheduled for Sunday, September 6, at 7:30 p.m. at The Greek Theatre, one of the city’s well-known outdoor concert venues.
The official ticketing information now clearly lists the event as cancelled. The cancellation notice states that the Asake “In God We Trust” show at The Greek Theatre will no longer take place.
Asake was billed to headline the concert, with South African Eswatini-born DJ and producer Uncle Waffles listed as a special guest.
The cancellation came shortly before the scheduled performance, making the development particularly disappointing for fans who had already made plans around the concert.
Why was Asake’s Los Angeles show cancelled?
At the time of publication, Asake and his team have not publicly disclosed the reason for cancelling the Los Angeles concert.
Several entertainment outlets have reported that the cancellation notice sent to ticket holders did not include an explanation.
That silence has created room for speculation online. Some social media users have suggested that ticket sales may have played a role, while others have pushed back against that claim, arguing that the concert was close to selling out.
There is, however, no official confirmation that low ticket sales caused the cancellation.
That distinction is important because neither Asake nor the organisers has publicly identified poor ticket sales as the reason for the decision. Until an official explanation is released, claims about the cause remain speculation.
Fans react as ticket refunds begin
For fans who already purchased tickets, the immediate concern is now getting their money back.
The official ticketing information says refunds will be returned automatically to the card used for the purchase. Ticket holders were told that the refund would be processed within five business days, followed by another two to three days for the money to reflect in their accounts. Buyers were also told that no action was required on their part.
That refund arrangement has become a major part of the conversation among disappointed fans, particularly those who had been preparing for the concert and may have made additional plans around the event.
The cancellation has also generated a wave of reactions across social media, with fans discussing the sudden change and questioning what may have happened behind the scenes.
Asake’s tour continues beyond Los Angeles
The cancellation does not currently mean the entire In God We Trust World Tour has been called off.
The Los Angeles performance was one stop on a wider tour covering cities across North America and Europe. Other major stops associated with the tour include Atlanta, Miami, Houston, Toronto, London and Paris.
Asake is still listed for upcoming international performances, including a London date at The O2 on October 15 and a Paris performance at Accor Arena on October 24, according to current venue listings cited by QED.
The Los Angeles cancellation therefore appears, at this stage, to affect that particular date rather than the entire tour.
What Asake fans are waiting to hear
For now, the biggest unanswered issue is the reason behind the cancellation.
Fans have confirmation that the Los Angeles concert will not go ahead and that their tickets will be refunded automatically. What they do not have is an explanation from Asake or the organisers.
That has left social media to fill the gap, with different theories circulating about what prompted the decision.
Until Asake or the event organisers issue a statement, those theories should be treated carefully. There is currently no verified basis for presenting low ticket sales or any other specific explanation as the confirmed reason.
What is certain is that the September 6 Asake concert at The Greek Theatre has been cancelled, and ticket holders are being refunded.
For fans who had been counting down to the Los Angeles show, that means the expected night of Afrobeats at the historic venue will not happen. The focus now shifts to the refund process and, perhaps more importantly, whether Asake or his team will eventually explain why the highly anticipated concert was abruptly removed from the tour schedule.
