"After taking various considerations due to the current situation involving the corona virus (COVID-19), we regret to announce the postponement of the Tour.

We sincerely apologize to all the fans who were looking forward to the Tour but because we consider the safety of our fans and all related parties involved to be the most important and after many discussions with the organizers, we sadly reached this decision, "wrote One Ok Rock.

This concert is part of the promotional tour of the album Eye of the Storm which was released in February 2019. Besides Indonesia, One Ok Rock will also perform in other countries including Thailand in February and Australia in March.
