Asake has cancelled his September 6, 2026 concert at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, pulling the date from his "In God We Trust" tour without giving a reason.
The notification sent to ticket buyers confirmed the cancellation and said refunds would land back on the cards used for purchase. "Unfortunately, this event has been cancelled. The Asake 'In God We Trust' show at The Greek Theatre on Sunday, September 6th, 2026 has been cancelled," the notice read. "You will receive a refund back to your card used for payment within 5 business days. Please allow a further 2-3 days for the refund to credit to your account. No action is required on your part."
The update, posted on Asake's official website, did not explain why the Los Angeles date was dropped. Ticket holders will get their money automatically, with the full process taking up to eight business days from the cancellation.
The decision has triggered a wave of speculation on social media. Some users claim the show was scrapped because of weak ticket sales. Others dispute that, arguing the venue was close to selling out before the announcement. Neither Asake nor his team has confirmed either version.
The Greek Theatre sits in Griffith Park and is one of the larger outdoor venues on the tour's US leg. The Los Angeles stop was one of 13 cities on the "In God We Trust" itinerary, which began in July and stretches across the United States, Canada and Europe. The schedule includes London, Paris, Atlanta, Toronto, Houston and Miami.
The tour name carries weight for Asake, whose albums "Work of Art" and "Lungu Boy" cemented his place among the top tier of Afrobeats acts touring internationally. His live shows blend Fuji rhythms with pop-leaning hooks, and the North American leg was expected to draw from both records.
The cancellation leaves a gap in the US run. Fans who had secured tickets for the Greek Theatre are now left to wait for the refund to clear, and those holding plans around the September date have been told no action is required on their part. The automated message offered no alternative show or rescheduled date.
Los Angeles has been a tricky market for Afrobeats touring acts. The city's Nigerian and Ghanaian communities are sizable, but the Greek Theatre's capacity and its position inside a national park make it a specific kind of booking. The venue has hosted a range of international artists over the years, though Afrobeats shows there have been less frequent than at the indoor arenas scattered across the city.
What remains unclear is whether the Los Angeles cancellation signals a broader issue with the tour. The other US and Canadian dates, including Atlanta, Toronto, Houston and Miami, have not been touched, and no changes have been announced to the European stops in London and Paris. Asake's team has stayed silent since the notice went out.
The Greek Theatre date was among the later stops on the tour, scheduled for early September. That timing has fed some of the speculation online, with commenters pointing to the post-summer stretch as a slow period for concert sales. But without confirmation from the artist or his management, the reason stays unconfirmed.
For now, the official line is the refund timeline. Buyers who paid by card will see the money returned within five business days of the cancellation, with an additional two to three days for the funds to land in their accounts. The process requires no paperwork or follow-up from the ticket holder.
Asake has not addressed the cancellation publicly. His social media feeds have not mentioned the Greek Theatre date, and no statement has been issued beyond the automated refund notice. The silence has done little to quiet the chatter, with fans trading theories across X and Facebook while they wait for word on the remaining dates.
The tour continues as scheduled for now, with the next stops still listed on Asake's official site. Whether Los Angeles was a one-off cancellation or the start of a reshuffle is a question only the singer and his team can answer. They have not yet.
