Anoushka Shankar KL show cancelled, fans left heartbroken after last‑minute announcement

Petalong Jayar, October 4th — Renowned sitarist Anoushka Shankar has announced the cancellation of her upcoming performance at Kuala Lumpur's Plenary Hall, citing circumstances beyond her control. The concert was planned to be her first return to Malaysia in several years. Shankar expressed her disappointment on Instagram, stating, "It is with a heavy heart and deep frustration that I must announce the cancellation of TOMORROW’s performance at Plenary Hall in Kuala Lumpur."

The promoter, Shiraz Projects, officially canceled the show, and Shankar assured ticket holders that they would receive full refunds. She expressed sorrow for the disruption caused, particularly for those who had made travel arrangements. Shankar, a Grammy nominee, had a long-awaited return to Malaysia scheduled for tonight. She also hinted at a possible future comeback: "I hope we will play in Indonesia soon."

Despite the cancellation, Shankar's daughter, known for her fusion of classical Indian traditions and contemporary sounds, remains hopeful about performing for her fans again.
