LOSERVILLE TOUR festival , featuring Limp Bizkit as the main attraction and scheduled to take place next Saturday, December 13th in Santiago, Chile, has been cancelled.
On the morning of Thursday, the 9th, the National Sports Institute (IND) announced the "rescheduling" of the event, after confirmation that the final of the Women's Hockey World Championship will take place on the same day and at the same location, the Parque Estadio Nacional.
According to CNN Chile , the decision comes after criticism from the Chilean national team, Las Diablas Junior , who publicly denounced the scheduling conflict and warned of the risks of loud noise, interference with the athletes' concentration, and compromised international broadcast of the final. In a statement on social media, the team argued: “Did they measure the decibels? What will happen to the television broadcast that goes to more than 100 countries? (…) Our event was organized more than a year ago. The final deserves respect.”
A few hours later, Lotus , the production company responsible for the show, released a statement on social media, expressing outrage at the "unilateral cancellation" announced by the IND, saying that there was already a signed contract, formal permission, and that the stage was being set up at the time of notification. "Today, in the middle of setting up Loserville, we were notified by the IND of the unilateral cancellation of the event due to the scheduling of the Women's Hockey World Cup final at another location in the National Stadium Park."
“We recognize the international importance of this competition and express our full respect and appreciation for the sport and the athletes (...). However, this situation should have been foreseen and communicated before November 5th, the date on which our rental request was formally accepted without any comment,” they added.
Currently, the company states it is searching for a new venue to hold the show on the scheduled date. It is not yet confirmed whether the LOSERVILLE TOUR will take place in Chile.
