Heartbroken 💔. Bandland is the highlight of my year. But full respect to the team for being transparent and processing refunds quickly. In India, we often see events fall apart last minute with poor communication, so this professional handling is appreciated.

While I understand Muse cancelling caused issues, couldn't they have gotten another international act? A festival of this scale in India should have backup plans. Many of us took leave from work and made non-refundable hotel bookings. A bit more resilience was expected.

Just got the email. Really sad, but the communication has been clear. Refund in 8-10 days is standard but hope it's faster. Kudos to BookMyShow Live for not dragging it out. Now to figure out what to do on Valentine's weekend in Bangalore instead!

This is a major blow to India's live music scene. Bandland was becoming our equivalent of international festivals. Hope Muse reschedules their tour and the organizers bounce back. The Indian fanbase is loyal but needs consistency.

So many of my friends were going. It's all over our WhatsApp groups. At least the refund is promised. Many Indian events just offer credit for future shows. Full refund is the right thing to do. Feeling sad for the organizers too, must be tough for them.
