LANY cancels sold-out Cebu concert over venue safety concerns

“Following our earlier announcement regarding the postponement of today’s sold-out LANY show in Cebu, we regret to inform you that the show has been cancelled due to significant safety issues regarding the roofing of the venue,” Live Nation Philippines said in its official statement.

The announcement disappointed fans who had been looking forward to seeing the band perform live, particularly those who had made travel and accommodation arrangements to attend the concert.

The organizer did not elaborate on the specific roofing defects, the extent of the safety risks, or whether the problems had been identified during a pre-concert inspection.

Live Nation Philippines confirmed that all tickets purchased for the Cebu show would be refunded.

Ticket holders may request refunds through the SM Tickets Refund Portal or email customercare@smtickets.com with the subject line “Refund Request: LANY: soft world tour in Cebu.”

Additional refund information is available at smtickets.com/faqs.

The promoter also apologized for the inconvenience and disappointment caused by the last-minute cancellation.

The Cebu cancellation adds to the setbacks surrounding LANY’s Philippine tour, following the earlier cancellation of its scheduled November 14 concert in Davao City, which organizers attributed to safety concerns and production issues.

For Cebu fans, the cancellation raises questions about venue readiness and why serious structural safety concerns were not resolved before concertgoers prepared to attend the sold-out event.

No replacement date was announced.
