Singer-songwriter Safia Nolin shared the news of the cancellation of her performance to her admirers on social media. “With the significant increase in cases, I was not comfortable with the idea of gathering hundreds of people in a theater tonight. I love you and I love my team, that's why I don't want to put everyone at risk, ”wrote Safia Nolin on Instagram.

The government's announcements on Thursday to neutralize the meteoric rise in COVID-19 cases in the province are already having a severe impact on the cultural community. But beyond the new measures that will come into effect on Monday, the wave that is hitting Quebec is forcing artists to simply reconsider holding their shows for everyone's safety.

“I prefer to wait so that we live this moment in the best possible conditions”, she added. To present his most recent mini-album SEUM, the artist planned two concerts in the image of his creation, divided into two parts. An acoustic version of his new songs, as well as their grunge and alt-rock variations. On Thursday, she presented the show “unplugged” (acoustic) at the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel. The “plugged” show will take place at a later date, assures the musician.

Ticket holders are advised to keep them, but it is still possible to get a refund. Safia Nolin will present Friday at 7:30 p.m. a live show broadcast on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram “in consolation”.
