South African Amapiano Duo Pull Out of Major French Music Festival
South African Amapiano stars 2woBunnies have announced that they will no longer be able to perform at their scheduled Fête de la Musique events in Paris this weekend after encountering unforeseen visa and travel complications.
In an official statement released on Saturday, the masked duo expressed their disappointment at being forced to withdraw from the highly anticipated performances despite extensive efforts by their team to meet all travel and administrative requirements.
The cancellation comes as Paris prepares to host one of the world’s largest music celebrations, with millions of music lovers expected to attend Fête de la Musique events across the French capital.
Visa Challenges Derail International Appearance
According to the statement, unexpected visa-related issues and travel restrictions ultimately prevented the duo from entering France in time for their scheduled performances.
“It is with deep regret that we announce that 2woBunnies will unfortunately no longer be able to perform at their scheduled Fête de la Musique events in Paris this weekend,” the statement read.
The duo noted that their team had made significant efforts to satisfy all necessary travel requirements, but circumstances beyond their control resulted in the cancellation.
Disappointment for Fans and Organisers
The cancellation is expected to be a blow to both fans and event organisers who were looking forward to seeing one of South Africa’s most in-demand Amapiano acts bring their energetic sound to the French capital.
2woBunnies acknowledged the disappointment felt by supporters, partners and promoters involved in the events, many of whom had anticipated the duo’s appearance as part of the globally celebrated music festival. Fête de la Musique remains one of France’s biggest annual cultural events, attracting local and international artists across multiple genres.
Duo Issues Apology
In the statement, the pair extended a sincere apology for any inconvenience caused and thanked event organisers for their patience and professionalism throughout the process.
The artists also expressed appreciation to their international fan base, particularly those in France who had been preparing to attend the performances.
Promise to Return to France
Despite the setback, 2woBunnies have reassured supporters that they remain committed to their growing international audience and are already looking ahead to a future return.
The duo said they hope to return to Paris and France in the near future to deliver the experience that fans were expecting this weekend.
