Rita Ora arrives in Budapest, is taken to hospital immediately

She added that she has to follow the doctors’ instructions and is very sorry that she will not be able to perform on Saturday night at the Campus Festival in Debrecen.

Rita Ora concert cancelled in Debrecen

The line-up of the Campus Festival main stage had to be rearranged at the last minute: tonight’s headliner, Rita Ora, is unable to perform due to illness, Index reports.

The organisers immediately changed the evening’s programme and moved another act, the band Zenevonatival az LGT sztárjaival, originally positioned on the University of Debrecen Stage (Debreceni Egyetem Színpada), to the main stage. According to the current line-up, ByAlex és a Slepp and Magdi Rúzsa will close the programme.

András Süli, the festival’s programme director, told Index: “Around 3 PM today, Rita Ora’s management informed us that the singer, who has been in Budapest since yesterday, has been hospitalised with a serious acute problem and her condition will not allow her to perform today. Although the singer’s crew had been working on the technical preparations on the main stage of the Campus Festival since last night, unfortunately, the concert cannot take place. We will coordinate a possible make-up in the future. Rita Ora’s scheduled date will be Magdi Rúzsa’s concert.”

The singer wrote the following on her Facebook page:

“Please forgive this unexpected turn of events but sadly I will not be able to perform at Campus Fesztivál tonight. Having spent the night in hospital in Budapest, I must rest thoroughly and follow doctors orders. I am so sorry to my fans who are going to be there today and I’m truly thankful for your understanding.”
