*The first ever Lollapalooza Colombia was set to take place Sept. 17-18 in Bogota, but the event has been called off — reportedly after headliner Rihanna dropped out at the last minute.
According to Variety, organizers announced Sunday that the event has been canceled after a “headliner” pulled out without enough time for the festival to find a replacement.
While the headliner’s name was not mentioned, several Colombian outlets reported that it was Rihanna, who was said to have canceled over concerns about the Zika virus.
“The organizers wish to express their deep appreciation to all the fans who supposed the festival since day one, as well as the sponsors and the media partners,” said a statement in Spanish on the music festival’s website. “We hope to return in the future to realize this first edition of Lollapalooza in the country.”
Rihanna has not publicly announced on social media or otherwise that she was canceling her performance. Disclosure, Lana Del Rey and Wiz Khalifa were also set to perform at Lollapalooza Colombia, which is currently offering refunds to ticket holders.
