Femi Kuti had been slated to begin his U.S. tour on Wednesday in Boston at the Paradise Rock Club. However, the Nigerian musician will instead will kick things off in Montreal at Club Soda on January 14. Kuti, who released Day By Day late last year, also has opted to reschedule the New York, Washington, DC and Philadelphia dates due to illness. The Afrobeat artist’s big band will travel from Montreal through the Midwest and on to California, with an appearance on January 24 at the San Diego House of Blues currently the last confirmed show. While the Paradise is offering refunds at point of purchase, the venue does indicate that a new date will be announced.
