This is the EXID JAPAN Management Office.
We sincerely apologize for the delay in announcing the availability of the replacement performances for the “EXID 2020 Japan Live Tour – Bad Girl For You” in February and June 2020, which were postponed due to COVID-19.
EXID members, staff members, and others involved in this tour are continuing to discuss whether or not the tour can be held in accordance with the “Guidelines for Prevention of Infection by the COVID-19 in Music Concerts” formulated by: the government and local governments; All Japan Concert & Live Entertainment Promoter’s Conference; Japan Association of Music Enterprises; and the Federation of Music Producers Japan. The EXID members and staff are continuing to discuss the possibility of holding the event.
We are doing our best considering the situation of COVID-19, including the outbreak of the Omicron strain, is not yet under control; and international traffic is still difficult.
We will decide whether or not to hold the event based on future government and local guidelines, as well as on the status of COVID-19, not only in Japan but also around the world, and on the relaxation of international traffic restrictions.
Refunds will be announced in conjunction with the decision to hold the event.
If you have a ticket, please keep it in a safe place as you will need it for a refund.
Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and trouble this may cause to our customers.
We will continue to announce the latest information on the official website and official Twitter, so please wait.
