SAUTI SOL ISSUES STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO SOL FEST BACKLASH

Boy band Sauti Sol has issued a statement acknowledging the shortcomings during their Festival, Sol Fest promising to work on them next time.

Most of the attendees lamented over a short performance by various artists and the delaying to appear on stage. One attendee on twitter claimed Sauti Sol particularly got on stage at 3.05 and only lasted for about 37 minutes. In their statement Sauti Sol acknowledges all these, “Our intention was to put on a spectacular event, ensuring each artist and group received enough time to deliver their very best performances to all fans. We also put more focus on the local talent who were performing, and our international guests,” reads part of the statement. Adding that “We acknowledge that this may have led to some unfortunate delays in keeping the show running in a timely fashion and would like to reassure all our fans and supporters that we will plan better for this in the future.”

As they concluded, the thanked people for showing up for them, “Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who came out in large numbers, endured the long queues and braved the long night to show us love and support. It is with you and for you that we are able to build bigger and better platforms for African talent.”
