Hong Kong airport has resumed operations and The Vamps is scheduled to depart to Indonesia on Tuesday afternoon.

Following the incident, the promoter decided to postpone the concert to Thursday night to give the band some time to rest.

Choky said that, based on The Vamps’ Instagram Stories, the band seemed tired after performing in Seoul. 

Choky mentioned it would not be a good idea to force them to perform tonight as they’re not in the mood and it might influence their performance.

The re-scheduled concert, which is part of the group’s Four Corners Tour, will be held at the same venue at The Kasablanka Hall. (jes/kes)
