'Cigarettes After Sex' cancels Bengaluru concert last minute, fans blame poor infrastructure
Bengaluru: The world-famous pop band 'Cigarettes After Sex' was set to perform in Bengaluru on Tuesday evening, but the concert was cancelled at the last minute due to "technical difficulties" at the venue. The announcement left fans disappointed and frustrated, with many criticising the city's infrastructure despite its status as India's 'tech capital.'
A couple of hours before the scheduled performance, the band issued a statement on social media, saying, "We're heartbroken to announce that due to technical difficulties which were the responsibility of local production at the venue and beyond our control, we're unable to perform and unfortunately have to cancel tonight's show in Bengaluru." The band also assured that ticket holders would be contacted by BookMyShow regarding refunds.
Fans who had already gathered at the venue expressed their anger online. Some called Bengaluru the "worst city for live gigs," while others pointed out the irony of a 'tech capital' facing "technical issues" leading to a cancellation.
Following cancellations in Bengaluru, 'Cigarettes After Sex' wrapped up their India tour, having earlier performed in Gurugram on January 24 and Mumbai on January 25. Their next stop is Dubai. Organisers have assured that all ticket holders will receive a full refund within 8-10 working days.
