The Blankets and Wine event slated for Sunday, June 29, has been cancelled over security concerns ahead of the June 25 protests.
In a statement released on Friday, June 20, organisers revealed that the decision to call off the highly anticipated event, which was to feature international artistes, was informed by consultations between security teams and partners.
They cited the planned protests scheduled for Wednesday, June 25, as key to their decision, noting that any unrest witnessed on the day could spill over to the event. "In light of the ongoing unrest within our country, and specifically the anticipated nationwide demonstrations on June 25th, we regret to inform you that we have made the difficult, yet necessary decision to cancel the upcoming June edition of Blankets & Wine that is slated for 29th June, 2025," the statement read.
