In a statement announcing the “postponement” on their Twitter account, the organisers of KPOP LUX said that they “tried to find a way to keep the show alive but have just run out of options”.
“Our aim to ensure the show is made to the highest possible quality, and due to unforeseen circumstances, we are unable to deliver that at this stage,” they added, while noting that ticket refunds “will be available from your original point of purchase”.
Notably, KPOP LUX’s statement comes in contrast to an announcement by co-organiser, South Korean TV network SBS. “Despite our efforts to ensure the smooth hosting of the 2023 KPOP LUX x SBS Super Concert in London, it has been cancelled due to unavoidable local circumstances,” SBS said per TenAsia, as translated by Soompi.
KPOP LUX x SBS Super Concert London was supposed to take place on September 22 and 23 at the O2 Arena. It was set to be the event’s second stop of the year, following a July 22 Madrid show that featured SHINee, ENHYPEN, STAYC, IVE and more.
The London stop of the event would have featured performances by: ITZY, Dreamcatcher, THE BOYZ, WEi, ZEROBASEONE, xikers, Tomorrow X Together ONEUS, Billlie and Choi Yena.
Dear KPOP LUX fans and ticket holders,
It is with heavy hearts that we have to announce the postponement of the KPOP LUX London show. We have tried to find a way to keep the show alive but have just run out of options. We know that you will be disappointed and no doubt angry.
