TOKYO – Hong Kong singer and actor Raymond Lam’s high-anticipated “GO WITH THE FLOW” concert series in Tokyo has been postponed, organizers announced Wednesday, citing a comprehensive review of operational factors. The two shows, originally scheduled for January 31 and February 1, 2026, at the Tokyo Garden Theater, will now take place exactly one year later, a decision that has resulted in apologies and a promise of full refunds for ticket holders.
Lam’s management made the announcement across social media platforms in Chinese, English, and Japanese, expressing deep regrets to fans eagerly awaiting the performances. The statement indicated that the promotional team conducted extensive negotiations and assessments with the artist’s representatives and related stakeholders to ensure the smooth execution of the event. However, “based on numerous comprehensive considerations,” organizers ultimately decided to push back the dates.
Concert Rescheduled and Refund Details
The official rescheduled dates for the Mandopop star’s concert run are now January 31 (Saturday) and February 1 (Sunday) of 2027, maintaining the original venue at the Tokyo Garden Theater.
For those who have already purchased tickets, the management confirmed a crucial immediate step: all current ticket sales will be fully refunded. The delay ensures that the process is handled systematically.
“Regarding the arrangements for the refund period and method, the respective ticketing platforms from which you purchased the tickets will issue separate announcements. We kindly request the patience of our fans,” the statement detailed.
Organizers assured the public that they are actively working to realize the rescheduled event, promising that once the new arrangements are finalized, a notification will be posted on the official website.
Recent Pattern of Postponements
The postponement follows a recent trend of high-profile event disruptions involving prominent Asian artists slated for performances in Japan—a movement that has generated significant discussion among concert promoters about logistics and feasibility in the current entertainment landscape.
Notably, fellow Hong Kong star Ekin Cheng faced a similar situation late last year. Cheng’s “Live In Tokyo 2025,” initially planned for December 5 at the Yebisu Garden Place, The Garden Hall, was abruptly canceled. Cheng’s management company announced on November 25 that the cancellation was due to “unforeseen circumstances,” although specific details were not disclosed at the time.
While Lam’s team specified that the decision was based on internal operational assessments rather than external “force majeure,” these successive delays highlight the complex challenges—including securing international staging, managing massive production logistics, and navigating evolving regional travel conditions—faced when executing major international concerts.
Despite the setback, the management reiterated its commitment to the fans and thanked them for their understanding and continued support of Lam’s career. Lam remains one of the most recognizable figures in the Canto-pop and television industries, and anticipation for his “GO WITH THE FLOW” world tour remains high among his dedicated Japanese and international fanbase.
Fans should monitor the official ticketing platforms closely for specific instructions on processing refunds in the coming weeks.
