ARTMS will no longer perform in Lille, France, as part of its ongoing “Art of BLUE BLOOD” world tour.
MODHAUS has announced the cancellation of the group’s scheduled Lille concert, which was originally set to take place on November 16.
The agency announced the decision on September 29 local time, citing unforeseen local circumstances beyond its control.
While MODHAUS did not provide further details about the specific circumstances behind the cancellation, the company described the decision as a difficult one for the group and its team.
The Lille concert was one of several European stops announced for the second leg of ARTMS’ 2026 world tour.
The group had previously revealed plans to bring “Art of BLUE BLOOD” across North America and Europe following its Seoul concerts in September.
ARTMS officially kicked off the tour with two performances in Seoul on September 5 and 6.
The North American portion was scheduled to include Toronto, New York, Orlando, Grand Prairie, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Seattle and Vancouver before the group moved to Europe.
The European schedule was originally set to begin with Lille on November 16, followed by Maastricht on November 19, Arnhem on November 20, Helsinki on November 22, Berlin on November 25, Warsaw on November 27 and Budapest on November 29.
With the Lille performance now cancelled, those remaining European dates are the currently announced stops for the European portion of the tour. MODHAUS has not indicated in its announcement that the other concerts have been affected.
Lille Concert Was Set to Open ARTMS’ European Tour
The cancellation means Lille will no longer serve as the opening destination for ARTMS’ European tour.
Fans who had been preparing to see the group in France will instead have to wait for further information regarding the cancelled event and any ticket-related procedures.
MODHAUS’ announcement did not identify a specific operational, venue, scheduling or safety issue.
The agency simply referred to “unforeseen local circumstances” outside its control, making it important not to assume a particular reason for the cancellation without an official confirmation.
The decision comes during a busy period for ARTMS. The group has been continuing its international activities while also promoting new music.
Earlier this year, ARTMS released its mini album “Hyper Ego,” adding another chapter to the group’s expanding discography before embarking on its latest world tour.
The “Art of BLUE BLOOD” tour itself represents another major international schedule for the group.
Its first announced itinerary covered multiple cities across North America and Europe, giving fans in several countries the opportunity to see ARTMS perform live.
The group’s Seoul concerts in September marked the beginning of the tour before it moved overseas.
Following the North American dates, the European leg was planned as another significant part of the schedule, with seven cities originally included.
For fans in Lille, however, the cancellation changes those plans.
The agency has yet to provide additional details about the circumstances or announce whether any alternative arrangements will be made for affected ticket holders.
ARTMS Continues World Tour With Other European Stops
Despite the Lille cancellation, ARTMS’ broader “Art of BLUE BLOOD” tour itinerary currently includes six other European destinations: Maastricht, Arnhem, Helsinki, Berlin, Warsaw and Budapest.
These dates were part of the original tour announcement made in July.
The tour follows ARTMS’ growing international activities as the group continues building its identity outside South Korea.
ARTMS consists of HeeJin, HaSeul, Kim Lip, JinSoul and Choerry, who previously promoted as members of LOONA.
Since launching ARTMS, the members have continued releasing music and performing together while developing a separate chapter in their careers.
Their releases have included the “Dall” full-length album and subsequent projects such as “Club Icarus” and “Hyper Ego.”
The “Art of BLUE BLOOD” tour adds another opportunity for the group to meet international fans following its previous live activities.
The original schedule was designed to cover a wide range of cities, with additional tour stops also having been teased when the first itinerary was announced.
For now, the Lille cancellation remains limited to that specific concert.
MODHAUS has not announced changes to the other European dates in the information released so far.
Fans who purchased tickets for the November 16 Lille show will need to follow the official ticketing and event channels for information regarding refunds or other arrangements.
Any further updates from MODHAUS could provide additional details about the cancellation and the status of affected bookings.
As ARTMS continues its “Art of BLUE BLOOD” world tour, attention will now turn to the group’s upcoming North American performances and the remaining European concerts.
While Lille will no longer be part of the itinerary, the other announced destinations remain on the schedule at this time.
The cancellation marks an unexpected change to what was originally planned as ARTMS’ European tour opening night, but the group’s wider international schedule continues, with performances across North America and several European cities still planned.
