Danny Nanone cancels highly anticipated Dubai performance With tickets sold out, and excitement filling the air, the Danny Nanone’s show in Dubai got cancelled at the last minute. According to the singer, the Dubai government set new event regulations that meant the event closing is at 2 pm, the time when the event was set to start. The organizers were faced with a difficult decision that weighed the success of the show against potential losses. They suggested that we postpone the show until the event hour issues in Dubai are resolved. We came to a mutual agreement to cancel the show temporarily to prevent any significant losses for the organizers, the singer told The New Times. Hopefully, the rapper will be able to perform in the city in the near future.
