Les trois concerts prévus à Reykjavik les 7, 10, 13 juin 2023 sont annulés et leur report en 2024 est envisagé. Le label One little independant record évoque des difficultés de logistique insurmontables dans les temps impartis et promet, au tourneur, à Björk et à ses fans, une future meilleure organisation.
Par conséquent, la tournée européenne Cornucopia débutera le 1er septembre à Lisbonne.
Dear fans, Björk, and Sena, our promoter,
We regret to inform you that due to unexpected production issues, we have made the difficult decision to cancel Björk’s Cornucopia Shows in Reykjavik this June.
Despite our best efforts, we have been unable to overcome these complications in time.
We understand this news will be disappointing for ticket holders, and we would like to express our sincerest apologies for any inconvenience and disappointment this may cause.
We are committed to preventing similar situations from occurring in the future, are working to identify the root causes of the production issues, and are implementing improvements to our processes.
We still hope that we will be able to do the shows next year in Iceland. Since it might take weeks or months to solve all the technical and logistical issues, we are, however, forced at this point to cancel and refund all tickets.
The box office is contacting all ticketholders and processing immediate refunds for them all.
Once again, we apologize to everyone affected by this cancellation and thank you for your understanding and patience.
Sincerely,OLI / Bjork Management
Björk a également posté un message sur ses réseaux sociaux pour s’excuser de la situation :
dear fans
i am so sorry
i wanted so terribly much to do the iceland shows
as you have propably heard , we have tried and tried to bring cornucopia here in june
but both it is hard to find a venue where this could work and to travel with it across the atlantic to a little island with 390.000 people has been challenging
we spent the day in damage control ... trying to minimise it as much as possible
but post-covid , different availabilities ... many challenges
i´m so sorry
we would like to try to organise something else for the people who are flying specially over for this ... and can´t change their tickets ........i was kinda waiting to write to you until i knew for sure what was happening but probably need the weekend to heal and calm things a little
i will let you know early next week what will happen !!
for sure !!!
thankfulness and grace
and know that i am trying my best to be generous to y´all
but it’s real tricky with this beast
