Sad FC Baseball News for Fans: "I Want to Sincerely Apologize"
FC Baseball's concert in Kaunas has been cancelled due to the inability to reach an agreement with other organizers, and the frontman expresses sincere apologies to fans awaiting the event.
The announcement from Tautvydas Gaudiešius of FC Baseball informs fans that their planned concert, named "FINALAS," which was scheduled to take place at the Kaunas Žalgirio Arena on April 23, has been cancelled. Despite numerous attempts to salvage the concert through collaboration with other organizers, an agreement could not be reached, leaving many fans disappointed. Gaudiešius urges those who purchased tickets to contact the distributor for refunds and expresses deep regret about the situation, emphasizing that his involvement in this work has always been more than just a job for him.
The cancellation comes in the wake of a scandal surrounding event organizer Valdas Petreikis and his wife, Simona Petreikienė, particularly regarding their former connections to financier Jeffrey Epstein, who has faced serious allegations related to sexual crimes. This scandal has prompted numerous well-known Lithuanian artists to publicly announce their disengagement from association with the Petreikis. Gaudiešius's decision to cancel the concert is a reflection of this growing trend in the music industry as artists align their public image with their moral values.
As the music community in Lithuania grapples with the fallout from this controversy, fans are left to seek refunds and reassess their support for artists associated with the scandal. The impact of this situation on the future of Lithuanian music events remains to be seen, as public trust may be tested in the aftermath of such associations and the subsequent responses from artists in the scene.
