Emmy and Golden Globe-winning stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld's show in Mumbai has been cancelled due to issues related to traffic and parking at the venue, the organisers said today.
The performance, a part of Stage42 festival, was supposed to be held this weekend at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium.
"This cancellation is unavoidable due to circumstances beyond the artist's and our control. Issues related to traffic and parking at the venue, which were brought to our attention only a couple of days ago, forced the cancellation of all artist travel arrangements pending a resolution of these logical issues," a statement released by the organisers said.
