The Nijisanji EN X (formerly Twitter) account announced on June 26 JST the cancellation of the upcoming NIJISANJI EN SUMMER JAM and “Welcome to Wonder Wander World” Concert in L.A. live performances. They were supposed to be held at the Peacock Theater on July 6 and 7, during Anime Expo 2024.

“While we were incredibly excited to bring you our first-ever 3D concert in North America, recent developments have made it clear that creating the optimal environment for an unforgettable experience for our fans and our Livers is no longer feasible,” said the tweet.

Full refunds will be processed, and Nijisanji is “working on special perks to show our appreciation for all who purchased tickets.”

A separate ANYCOLOR announcement says that NIJISANJI EN SUMMER JAM will be live streamed on the official NIJISANJI EN YouTube Channel for free “on same date and time as originally scheduled.” Group 1’s section (which has the VTubers Elira Pendora, Finana Ryugu, Petra Gurin, Rosemi Lovelock, and Millie Parfait) will run from 12 PM to 1:30 PM PDT on July 6, while Group 2’s (Luca Kaneshiro, Shu Yamino, Sonny Brisko, and Uki Violeta) will be from 6 PM to 7:30 PM PDT the same day.

In the case of “Welcome to Wonder Wander World” Concert in L.A., which features the ChroNoiR unit (comprising Kanae and Kuzuha), Nijisanji is “working to provide mini-live concert footage exclusively to those who have bought tickets.”

The tweet ended with, “Thank you so much for your understanding.”
