Avenged Sevenfold Pulls Out of Busan Rock Festival, Fee-Free Refunds Until Oct 4
Avenged Sevenfold has cancelled its appearance at this year's Busan Rock Festival in South Korea, organizers confirmed in an Instagram post. The announcement, published in both Korean and English, lays out separate refund procedures for domestic and overseas ticket buyers and sets a single deadline for fee-free cancellations.
What was announced
The festival's official Instagram account, @busanrockfest, posted the cancellation notice along with image graphics detailing the process. No reason for the band's withdrawal was given in the post. Organizers advised ticket holders to check the attached images for full details.
How to get a refund
Buyers who purchased tickets within South Korea can cancel through the YES24 TICKET website, app, or customer service center. Overseas buyers need to go back to whichever platform they originally booked through, including YES24 Global, KLOOK, or KKday.
- Fee-free cancellation deadline: Sunday, October 4, 2026, 10:00 PM Korea time
- Domestic channel: YES24 TICKET website, app, or customer service
- Overseas channels: YES24 Global, KLOOK, or KKday (via original point of purchase)
- Presale handling fees: refunded separately starting Tuesday, October 6, 2026
In other words, anyone who requests a cancellation before the deadline won't be charged a cancellation fee. The presale handling fee — separate from the ticket price itself — follows its own refund schedule, processed in batches starting October 6.
What hasn't been announced
The source announcement does not state a reason for Avenged Sevenfold's withdrawal. Ticket holders with platform-specific questions about refund timing are advised to contact the customer service of whichever platform they booked through directly.
