"We're having to reschedule our South African shows to 22, 23 & 25 July. So sorry for any inconvenience caused but we can't wait to get out there," says an official statement from Ben Howard’s management team.

Seed Experiences Managing Director, Brian Little commented, “It’s always unfortunate to reschedule shows of this nature, however we feel very happy that we have collectively been able to make these shows happen this July.
