On March 11, We Bridge announced that the K-pop festival would “not return” for a 2024 edition. We Bridge 2024 was originally set to take place from April 26 to 28 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center and Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
In a statement on Instagram, the organiser said that it had “made the difficult decision to not return this April 2024” due to “unforeseen production challenges”. It added: “Our team is dedicated to providing a high standard for all the wonderful fans who travel far and wide to see their favourite artists in person.”
We Bridge also announced that it would be reaching about via email to make a “full refund” to those who purchased tickets. “We are looking forward to coming back next year to see all of you,” the organiser continued.
Prior to the cancellation, We Bridge 2024 had announced a line-up of 10 K-pop artists. It had featured MAMAMOO member Hwasa, Korean-American singer Jessi, K-R&B singer DEAN, Korean rappers Dynamic Duo, K-pop girl group KISS OF LIFE and NMIXX, co-ed act KARD and boybands CRAVITY, ALL(H)OURS and AMPERS&ONE.
