Calabash South Africa, one of the country’s most anticipated large-scale live music events, appears to be facing an uncertain future as ticket holders report receiving refunds, despite no official cancellation announcement from organisers Big Concerts at the time of writing.
Over the past several days, fans have taken to social media and online forums claiming that ticket refunds have been processed or initiated through official ticketing platforms. The reports have sparked widespread speculation that the festival has been quietly cancelled, even as no formal statement has been issued by Big Concerts confirming the event’s status.
The apparent discrepancy has left ticket holders confused, with many questioning whether the refunds signal a definitive end to the event or a broader logistical reset behind the scenes. Without confirmation from the organisers, the festival currently exists in a grey area.
Calabash South Africa has been positioned as a premier live rock festival, attracting major international acts and drawing tens of thousands of fans. This year, Muse, Simple Plan, A Day To Remember and Nothing But Thieves are scheduled to attend.
This is a developing story.
