Ye’s show in Delhi just got cancelled. Here's why

The highly, highly anticipated Ye concert, scheduled for May 23, has been officially cancelled as of the 15th.

This comes after months of planning for what was billed as one of the largest live music productions ever attempted in India. In a statement posted to social media, organiser Whitefox said the decision was taken 'following security advisories and directives issued by the concerned government and law enforcement authorities,' amid what it described as a 'current high-alert situation in the capital'.

Here’s what we know. In the meantime, if you happen to be in the city for the tour, have a look at what else Delhi has to offer.

Are the tickets refundable?

Tickets had been sold through official partner District, and the organiser confirmed that full refunds will be issued to all purchasers through that platform.

‘Refunds for all valid ticket & merch holders have been initiated and will reflect in your source account within 5-7 business days,’ said Whitefox in an Instagram comment on May 15.

A possible future date?

Despite the cancellation, Whitefox indicated that the show may still happen at a later date. 'We are currently working with the artist's team to secure a new date and venue, and will share further updates through official channels,' the statement said.
