“Due to a serious security threat involving the safety of my fans, venue personnel, and the artist, Ella Langley’s scheduled performance tonight at BOK Center in Tulsa has been canceled,” reads the post that appeared shortly before 5 p.m. CT on Langley’s socials.
“The safety and well-being of everyone involved is our absolute priority, and, after careful consideration, we have determined that the show cannot proceed. We understand the disappointment this news brings and apologize to fans who planned to attend. The safety of our fans is our foremost concern and will always come first,” the message continues. Ticket refund information will be forthcoming.
Langley is in the middle of her Dandelion Tour, in support of her new album that features “Choosin’ Texas,” which has broken the record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 at 24.
In addition to the official post, Langley added, “I know how much time, travel, money, and planning goes into coming to a show, and I can’t tell you how sorry I am. This is not a decision that was made lightly. I was so looking forward to spending tonight with you, but your safety will always mean more to me than anything else. I refuse to put anyone in harm’s way.”
As of now, there is no cancellation notice on the venue’s website regarding the concert. A receptionist at the arena told Billboard, “We’re not able to give a comment to the media at this time.” Billboard has reached out to a marketing representative for Oakview Group, which operates the venue, but has not heard back. A rep for Langley had no comment when reached by Billboard.
Langley’s tour continues Saturday night in Lubbock, Texas, as United Supermarkets Arena, before coming to Los Angeles for two shows at the Greek Theater, Oct. 13-14.
