RE:VE FESTIVAL Japan Concert Postponed, EXO Members Won't Perform at Rescheduled Date
The Japan-Korea joint concert RE:VE FESTIVAL scheduled for April 26 at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa has been postponed. EXO members Chen and Xiumin, who were set to headline the evening lineup, won't be able to participate in the rescheduled performance.

A Japan-Korea collaborative concert featuring both K-pop and Japanese artists has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts.
RE:VE FESTIVAL: Global Music Stage was originally scheduled for April 26 at Pia Arena MM in Kanagawa, with two separate lineups planned for the daytime and evening performances. OWV was set to perform in the afternoon slot, while EXO members Chen and Xiumin, along with Japanese actor-singer Takanori Iwata, were slated for the evening show.
Organizers cited "various circumstances" as the reason for the delay but didn't specify details. The postponement has created scheduling complications for the participating artists, with Chen and Xiumin unable to commit to a rescheduled date. Other performers may also face changes depending on when the concert is ultimately held.
The event was meant to be a significant international broadcast opportunity. KBS World, a South Korean broadcaster, planned to produce a 60-minute special program from the concert that would air across 170 countries worldwide. That production timeline will now need adjustment alongside the venue date.
Organizers have pledged to announce the rescheduled performance date, updated artist lineup, and additional details at a later time. Ticket holders will need to wait for that announcement to understand how their existing tickets will be honored.
This marks another scheduling challenge in the busy calendar that international artists juggle, particularly when coordinating between Japanese and Korean entertainment industries. For fans who had been anticipating Chen and Xiumin's performance, the postponement represents an indefinite delay with no guaranteed participation from the originally announced headliners.
The broadcast aspect of the concert added extra weight to the original plans, making the postponement impact not just the live audience but international viewership that extends far beyond Japan and Korea.
