The Juicy Luicy cancellation of the concert in Batam, on September 5, has triggered the interest of Indonesian fans regarding the group’s cancellation. The last-minute cancellation evolved into a public spat over travel arrangements, overcharges for “excess baggage” and conflicting versions of events from the band and organizer.
The big question for fans now is easy: will there be a Juicy Luicy ticket refund and what is the next step for the fans?
Why Was Juicy Luicy’s Batam Performance Cancelled?
Juicy Luicy was to appear at XYZ Liveground, Temenggung Abdul Jamal, Batam on September 5, 2026. But they did not end up going to Batam and hence they didn’t perform.
The issue arose at the airport when they were asked for extra fees for the band’s overage luggage, the organizer said. The organiser suggested that the cost should be paid upfront and then reimbursed, so the group could move on.The organiser suggested that they pay for the cost first and then the money returned to reimburse the group for its journey.
XYZ Liveground also said that the big arrangements like performance fee, return flights, hotel accommodation and hospitality and technical issues were already in place. Other performers also faced a similar problem with their bags, but were able to go on with the help of the reimbursement process, the organiser said.
In Juicy Luicy, it was put differently: the exact cause of the disagreement was not a given, but rather a point in dispute.
Juicy Luicy’s Official Statement on the Batam Cancellation
In its first Instagram Story, Juicy Luicy stated that it was sad that the group will not be performing at XYZ Liveground 2026. The band explained that the tough choice stems from commitments made by the organizer that the group hasn’t worked out yet.
Vocalist Julian “Uan” Kaisar then spoke about the matter on Instagram live feed. He complained about paying for luggage and booking a room, according to reports. In the meantime, XYZ Liveground maintained that their previously agreed obligations had been satisfied, and this was a new problem that arose at departure, the baggage expense.
There is then a significant difference of opinion among the two accounts regarding the issue of whether the outstanding costs were a lingering organizer obligation or an unanticipated cost that could have been incurred through reimbursement.
Fans are advised to check the band’s official Instagram page: @juicyluicyband or the organiser’s page: @xyzliveground to get the latest updates, but not the screenshots or unofficial reposts that are shared online.
