In Chile, a massive blackout has affected more than 70% of the country and millions of Chileans, as a result of the disconnection of the 500 kV transmission system in Norte Chico. This incident caused the cancellation of several events, including the Viña del Mar Festival, one of the most anticipated of the year where renowned international artists were scheduled to perform.
One of the performances affected by the blackout was by the group Morat and singer Sebastián Yatra, scheduled for that night. The festival organizers have decided to postpone these performances to March 1. Those who cannot attend on the new date can request a refund for their tickets through the official event page.
The Viña del Mar Festival informed its followers through its official accounts, deeply regretting the situation and explaining that the rescheduling of the shows is due to the state of emergency declared by the Government of Chile. The statement assures that the confirmed artists will still participate on the new date, maintaining the same schedule.
"Dear fans, we deeply regret to inform you that, due to the state of emergency declared by the Government of Chile, tonight's shows must be rescheduled for Saturday, March 1, 2025. We know how much you were looking forward to this moment and how important it is for you, which is why we want to assure you that the confirmed artists will be present on the new date, maintaining the same schedule," reads the statement.
The Festival thanks its audience for their understanding and support during these times, highlighting that the most important thing is the safety of all attendees. Spectators are asked to leave the venue calmly and peacefully, and they are assured that they will soon meet again to experience an unforgettable night together.
