Honey Singh Postpones “Sold Out” Pune Concert; Fans Left Fuming

Rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh has sparked a wave of social media backlash after announcing the last-minute postponement of his “sold-out” Pune concert. Originally scheduled for Saturday, April 4, at Mahalaxmi Lawns, the show part of his My Story India Chapter tour has been pushed back to April 18, 2026.

The decision comes in the wake of a Maharashtra government advisory warning of anticipated rain and severe thunderstorms in the region.

“Safety First,” Says Honey Singh

The 43-year-old artist took to Instagram to share an official statement alongside a copy of the government press note. Singh emphasized that while the show was a massive commercial success, the physical well-being of his fans took precedence.

“Despite being completely sold out for Saturday, we have to reschedule… due to anticipated rain and thunderstorms. This decision has been made in line with the government advisory, as the safety of my fans remains the top priority.” — Yo Yo Honey Singh

The singer confirmed that all tickets purchased for the April 4 date will remain valid for the rescheduled performance on April 18.

Fan Backlash: “Not Acceptable”

Despite the safety justification, the comment sections were quickly flooded with frustrated concert-goers. Many fans highlighted the significant financial loss incurred from non-refundable travel and accommodation bookings.

The grievances shared by fans include:

• Interstate/International Travel: Several fans claimed they were already en route to Pune, with one user stating they flew in specifically from Dubai and must now return before the new date.
• Lack of Refund Options: Many demanded a full refund, noting they cannot attend two weeks later. One fan wrote, “We’ve booked everything around it, from Airbnb to travel… all that money is going to waste.”
• Logistical Nightmares: Comments like “Wtf paaji this is not fair!!” and “This isn’t acceptable” dominated the announcement post.

What’s Next for the Tour?

Following the Pune delay, the My Story – India Chapter tour is slated to move across the country. Fans in the following cities are currently on high alert for further updates:

• Ahmedabad
• Indore
• Lucknow
• Kolkata
• Bengaluru

For Pune ticket holders, the two-week wait begins. While the stage is set for April 18, the rapper’s team has yet to address the growing demands for a refund window for those unable to make the new date.
