city Santigold: Last News

Santigold has announced that she is cancelling all of her upcoming tour dates because she “will not continue to sacrifice myself for an industry that has become unsustainable for, and uninterested in, the welfare of the artists it is built upon”.The musician was due to tour the US In October and November in support of her new album ‘Spirituals’, which was released earlier this month. However, that tour will now not go ahead.In a lengthy statement, she told fans: “For the past several years we have all been through immense challenges, some physical, some mental, some spiritual, some economic”.“And yet, as we have begun to trudge on, much of the toll of that experience has been left untended as we rush back in, attempting to make up for lost time, to reconnect, catch up on bills unpaid, to escape the insanity that had begun to set in.

Santigold has cancelled her upcoming Holified tour, citing difficulties with inflation and the changing landscape of post-pandemic music touring.Sharing the news via an open letter on her official website today (September 27), Santigold wrote that she was “both sad and proud” to cancel the tour, which was set to begin in Atlanta next month before wrapping up in California by November.Santigold first spoke of the “pit in [her] stomach” that she felt when deciding to axe the tour, before describing the financial and mental tolls of post-pandemic touring that forced the cancellation. “When I think of disappointing you all,” she wrote, “I feel the disappointment deep in the pit of my stomach.“But for the past several years we have all been through immense challenges… For many of us, the landscapes we are re-entering are not the same.” The singer went on to explain the inflation costs associated with touring, describing them as unanticipated and specifically citing the “skyrocket[ing]” price of “gas, tour buses, hotels, and flight[s].”As a result of these difficulties — which also included the unavailability of venues due to “a flooded market of artists”, and the halted tour schedules due to positive COVID cases — Santigold admitted that she simply “[couldn’t] make it work.” The singer wrote that these “demands of a relentless industry” had caused her anxiety, insomnia and fatigue.“My little heart that has been working way beyond its limits, my whole body in fact and my soul too, are screaming at me ‘NO muthafucka! Pull.The Fuck.
