Events and Shows
LANY's sold-out Nov. 12 concert at SM Seaside Cebu Arena was cancelled over a ceiling safety concern. Tickets will be refunded, and the arena has not yet announced when events will resume.
The LANY "Soft World Tour" concert scheduled for Thursday, November 12, 2026 at SM Seaside Cebu Arena in Cebu City did not push through.

This is a venue advisory for ticket holders and for readers with upcoming events at the arena.
What happened
- Event cancelled: LANY's Nov. 12, 2026 show, scheduled for 6:30 PM, was cancelled. The band's earlier Nov. 6 show at the same arena had gone ahead.

- Refunds: Live Nation Philippines said all tickets purchased for the cancelled Cebu show will be refunded.
- Assessment: The Office of the Building Official, the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office and the Bureau of Fire Protection did an initial assessment.
