On July 25, Seinabo Sey was supposed to be on stage, as was Daniel Adams-Ray. The audience was waiting for her to start, when they suddenly found out that she cancelled. The organizers gave no explanation, says Lisa Strandvik who was in the audience, to Göteborgs-Posten.

Seinabo Sey herself wrote on social media at 7 pm that evening that she cancelled: "It's not often but today the circumstances were not reasonable".

But when Lisa Strandvik asked for her money back, the organizer Rush Entertainment refused her. In an email, they wrote that "the event has been carried out even if the program has been partially changed". Instead, they offered half the price on one of the other two concert evenings in July or a ticket to a Marstrands concert of her choice next summer.

If they now sell a concert with two artists and cannot deliver, it should be obvious that you get your money back, says Lisa Strandvik.

In a post that she later removed, Seinabo Sey wrote that she and the organizer did not agree. Niklas Lundell, one of Rush Entertainment's owners, says instead to GP that he does not know what the artist's decision is based on.
