The Synaptik and Felukah: LONDON CONCERT

Due to government travel restrictions, the Synaptik and Felukah show has been postponed to 22nd October 2021.

With the UK’s recent announcements, Egypt has been placed on the red list meaning neither of the artists are able to fly in to London for the time being. The show will however go on! Releasing their debut track ‘Nefsi’, The Synaptik and Felukah are currently in the studio working on a new song together, both which will be performed first time together in October when the two share the stage.

** To anyone with a ticket for the Jazz Cafe show, your tickets will be directly valid for the new show date on October 22nd. The new show will be moved from a seated to a standing show**

Tickets are refundable through Jazz Cafe, but we encourage ticket holders to hold on to their tickets as the October show will most likely sell out.
