US hip-hop star Russ’s upcoming Dubai show has been postponed.

The show was due to take place at the Coca-Cola Arena on Friday, November 27, but organisers have announced that the show will now take place at a later date in 2021.

The new date is set to be announced shortly.

All existing ticket holders will be issued a full refund within 21 working days.

The show was initially due to take place on March 27, but was delayed until November due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.

Speaking to The National in June, the venue's chief executive Guy Ngata said he had hoped the November date would be able to go ahead as planned.

“For the shows that were cancelled, such as Iron Maiden and K-Pop Super Concert, we look forward to welcoming them back and those are ongoing conversations as to when new dates work for all parties and in line with public health guidance. Other shows, such as Louis Tomlinson and Russ, have been rescheduled for later in the year and we very much hope the world is at a stage where they can go ahead,” he said.

“We haven’t stopped planning and there are many conversations about shows and dates, and we are looking forward to announcing those when it is right to do so.”
