Norwegian black metal veterans 1349 were forced to cancel their scheduled performance in Costa Rica after being denied entry into the country due to documentation issues.
The band announced the disappointing news through their official channels, revealing that they arrived in Costa Rica at 10:30 AM but were refused entry by immigration authorities. According to their statement, the denial was related to “entry documents required, under the direction of the local promoter.”
The cancellation appears to stem from administrative issues rather than any legal complications, with the band directing fans to contact the local promoter regarding ticket refunds and additional information.
This incident highlights the complex visa and documentation requirements that international touring musicians often face, which can sometimes lead to last-minute cancellations despite proper planning.
Fans who purchased tickets for the show have been advised to contact the local promoter for refund information and updates on any potential rescheduled dates.
