Umamusume: Pretty Derby LA concert cancelled

Concert Background

The Umamusume: Pretty Derby concert in Los Angeles was part of the global tour 'The Stage: World Tour'. This tour was highly anticipated by fans of the game, who had the chance to see the artists perform the game's songs live. Unfortunately, visa issues prevented the concert from taking place.

Developers Cygames had announced this concert in July and fans had already started buying tickets. However, despite efforts to obtain the necessary visas, it was not possible to overcome the administrative obstacles.

Impact on fans

The cancellation of the concert in Los Angeles has disappointed many fans of Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Some had already planned their trip to attend the concert and will now have to cancel their bookings. Fans have expressed their frustration on social media, but also their understanding of the administrative difficulties faced by the developers.

Fans who had purchased tickets for the concert will be refunded, but this does not make up for the disappointment of not being able to attend the concert. Some fans have even expressed concern that Cygames may no longer be able to hold concerts in the US due to administrative difficulties.

Other episodes of visa issues

This is unfortunately another episode of visa issues affecting video game-related events. Recently, another video game concert, Wuthering Waves, was also affected by visa issues for one of its artists. These administrative problems can have significant consequences for developers and fans, and highlight the importance of finding solutions to facilitate cultural exchanges and international events.
