KAMP Los Angeles 2022 has officially announced several last-minute changes to its lineup of performing artists.

On October 14 local time, less than 24 hours before the start of the two-day festival, KAMP Los Angeles announced that a number of artists would not be able to take the stage at the Rose Bowl that weekend as planned.

According to the festival’s organizers, Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon, EXO’s Kai, GOT7’s BamBam, Jeon Somi, Zion.T, and Lapillus are all “unable to travel as planned due to unforeseen U.S. work visa issues and circumstances outside of the artists’ and promoters’ control.”

As all of these artists except for Zion.T were scheduled to perform on Saturday, October 15, KAMP announced that it had “increased artist set lengths on Saturday… and added MOMOLAND and T1419 as special guests.” Of the artists in the original Saturday lineup, Super Junior, iKON, and P1Harmony will still be performing as scheduled.

MONSTA X, aespa, Chungha, MOMOLAND, Epik High, and T1419 are currently scheduled to perform at the second night of the festival on Sunday, October 16.

They honestly should have prepared better making sure all the artists had their Visas before confirming them as part of the lineup

Might as well throw the whole event away

Only half of the artists scheduled to perform were able to attend, which really sucks for the fans who were anticipating more artists

Fr 🤡 it’s such an upset for anyone involved that this wasn’t planned well at all, they should’ve had the Visas figured out before announcing the artists as a part of the lineup

Yeah and I heard that it’s on the event management because SM said they gave all relevant visa information to whoever manages the event. I know someone who was super stoked to see Kai and how they’re going to miss him completely.

The event should have been handled so much better. It’s rare to see companies do better than the event organizers. My heart goes out to the fans, and I’m sure the artists themselves feel bad

Yes exactly. So they’ll be 100% sure everything is settled. Now they’re just disappointing a lot of people 🙄
