Cancellation UK Americana Music Week 2022 - 2023 Dates

17 Jan 2022 10:14 AM | Anonymous member


We are sure you've all heard our sad news by now; that UK Americana Music Week 2022 is cancelled. We are so thankful and humbled by the response from our Americana community, thank you all so much for the heartfelt messages. Keep an eye on our socials for updates regarding upcoming virtual events, and put those 2023 dates in the diary. Here's part of our official statement from our CEO, Stevie Smith, below

"On behalf of the AMA UK board I am bringing you news today that breaks my heart - regretfully due to the recent developments with the Omicron variant worldwide, our international partners have had to pull out of being at our event and this has had a knock on effect that makes the event unviable. That along with hospital cases rising at rapid rates, the pandemic seems to still be far from at its peak here in the UK. The board have decided that in the absence of Government guidance we have to make this difficult decision ourselves and that the only safe and sensible thing to do at this late stage is to cancel UK Americana Music Week for 2022.
This has been an incredibly difficult decision to make because as you know keeping the genre vibrant and giving you all a platform to showcase your music is our highest priority, but this is now out of our hands and we have no real choice but to take this path. Our 2023 dates are confirmed for January 23rd-26th so mark that in PEN in your diaries now. If it is possible for you to roll over your tickets this will help us enormously, but of course if that isn’t possible for you then a refund will be issued."

All ticket holders have been emailed with instructions on how to roll over their tickets or how to request a refund 

Thank you 

Stevie Smith & The AMA-UK board
