6 Artists Will No Longer Be Performing At “KAMP LA 2022”
K-Pop fans eagerly anticipated KAMP LA 2022 as it boasts an incredible lineup for its two-day concert, including GOT7‘s BamBam, iKON, Jeon Somi, EXO‘s Kai, LAPILLUS, P1Harmony, Super Junior, and Taeyeon on the first day. The lineup for the second day includes aespa, Chung Ha (also known as Chungha), Epik High, MOMOLAND, MONSTA X, T1419, and Zion.T.
Yet, many fans have been becoming increasingly concerned about the organizer’s decisions from prohibiting the distribution of unofficial artist merchandise to issues with artists’ traveling.

Sure enough, just one day before the debut K-Pop festival, it has been announced that the original lineup for Saturday has decreased expeditiously. Six artists, including some of the biggest headliners, such as Kai, BamBam, Somi, and Taeyeon, will be unable to perform. So, instead, 21419 and Momoland will perform twice.

While Super Junior had previously contacted fans via Bubble to warn them not to wait in the cold because their flight was delayed because of a visa issue, they are reportedly still performing.
Super Junior are so sweet and warm-hearted. As soon as they knew the flight is delayed due to Visa problem, they immediately told ELFs who might be waiting at the airport so they don't have to wait 🥺💙
We stan the right group 😭#SuperJunior #슈퍼주니어 @SJofficial pic.twitter.com/WfLB40M7pY

At this point, fans feel KAMP LA 2022 has become the K-Pop equivalent of the infamous Fyre Festival.
This is actually the K-Pop version of Fyre Festival. What a dumpster fire. 🫠🫠🫠 https://t.co/HEYgF2Zz6e

Due to the festival losing so many of its artists, there are reports that the festival will offer refunds. Fans are hoping this is true.
According to internal info, KAMP plans to offer refunds as it seems some artists will be unable to attend. We have to hold them to this if this festival indeed falls apart. #KAMPLA2022
