According to Expressen, it would have been the first performance for Bedårande barn since 2019. But since the band's guitarist fell ill with the flu, that's not the case.

However, only 80 tickets had been sold out of 450 possible ones for Lindesberg's auditorium. Therefore, the organizer Karzan Kader considered moving the performance to his pizzeria and restaurant – where he had previously booked performances – in Lindesberg.

Nerikes Allehanda has previously reported that the booked concert has sparked a local debate in the Västmanland town, where the tone has sometimes been harsh on social media. But it's not because of that the performance is being postponed, preliminarily to June 14, emphasizes Karzan Kader.

I'm not afraid of hassle. This is just postponed, he says to Expressen.

All those who have pre-purchased tickets will get their money back.
