Cigarettes After Sex Cancels Bengaluru Show Amid Technical Difficulties
Bengaluru, India - Indie-pop band Cigarettes After Sex was left red-faced after cancelling their scheduled performance in Bengaluru due to unforeseen production issues.
The band took to Instagram to express their regret and apology to fans, stating that the decision was beyond their control. "We're heartbroken to announce that due to technical difficulties which were the responsibility of local production at the venue & beyond our control, we're unable to perform & unfortunately have to cancel tonight's show in Bengaluru," they wrote.
The band went on to clarify that they had tried everything possible to make the show happen but ultimately fell short due to the issues with the local production. They also promised that BookMyShow would reach out to fans for information on refunds for the show.
While many fans expressed their disappointment and frustration in the comments section, some couldn't help but compare the experience to a different band's flawless execution at a nearby venue. "Sad… next time shift your venue to the place which manages well like in Ahmedabad," one fan commented.
Cigarettes After Sex's cancellation comes on the heels of another high-profile act's successful show just weeks ago - Coldplay's record-breaking concert in Ahmedabad, India, which drew a massive crowd of 1,34,000 fans. Their final show concluded their India Tour on January 26, leaving Cigarettes After Sex's abrupt cancellation in its wake.
As for the local production issues, experts say that such technical difficulties are not uncommon and often result from lack of experience or preparation by the venue management. However, this does little to calm the nerves of disappointed fans who were eagerly expecting a performance from the indie-pop band.
Fans can look forward to hearing more about Cigarettes After Sex's rescheduled tour dates soon, but for now, it seems that Bengaluru will have to wait just a little while longer for their fix of the atmospheric soundscapes and introspective melodies that the band is known for.
