Umamusume Los Angeles Concerts Cancelled Due to Visa Issues

The Umamusume: Pretty Derby franchise has officially cancelled its upcoming live concerts in Los Angeles after failing to secure the necessary visas from the U.S. government. The two-day event, scheduled for October 22 and 23 at the Peacock Theater, was intended to mark the first-ever performances by the series' vocal cast in America. Organizers stated that despite working with legal teams and promoters for over six months to finalize entry permissions, the applications remained unapproved just days before the shows were set to begin.

The cancellation affects the only U.S. stops on the franchise's world tour. While full refunds will be issued for ticket purchases, including those for planned live-streams, organizers acknowledged the significant inconvenience caused to fans who may have incurred additional travel costs or taken time off work. They indicated they are currently reviewing potential responses for attendees planning to visit in person but requested patience as this process unfolds.
