Feid’s Medellín concert has been postponed: the Aug. 21 launch show for his album “El club de las 19 flores” at Centro de Eventos La Macarena won’t go on as scheduled. The reggaetonero announced the delay on Instagram, saying it wasn’t the moment to “talk about albums or music” after the magnitude-7.4 earthquake that hit Chocó on August 10, per Q’HUBO Medellín and ABC Economía.

No new date has been announced as of August 17, 2026. Ryan Castro made the same call a day earlier for his August 22 Cali show. Here’s what’s confirmed and what to do if you’re holding a ticket or timed a trip around either date.

Why the Feid Medellín concert was postponed

Feid announced the concert as a surprise on August 7, with tickets going on sale that day through Taquilla Live at a flat COP 139,000 (about USD $44 at the ~3,132 COP/USD exchange rate in effect July 31, 2026, per the Superintendencia Financiera de Colombia, the body that certifies Colombia’s daily TRM) across its three sections, with doors set for 8 p.m.

Days after Colombia’s strongest earthquake this century — a disaster we’ve been tracking since the Embassy’s alerts began — Feid posted that he was pulling the show: “Yo siento que no es momento para hablar ni de álbum, ni de música, ni de nada que no tenga que ver con ayudar a Colombia” (“I feel like this isn’t the moment to talk about the album, or music, or anything that isn’t about helping Colombia”), per Semana. He closed with “Nos vemos pronto, no sé cuándo, pero ahora la prioridad es ayudar” (“See you soon — I don’t know when, but the priority right now is helping”).

Instead, Feid says he’ll join a benefit show with comedian Alejandro Riaño at Movistar Arena in Bogotá on August 29 for earthquake relief, alongside fundraising events in Miami, per Q’HUBO Medellín.

Ryan Castro postponed his Cali show too

Ryan Castro postponed his “Sendé The Last Dance” show, set for August 22 at Estadio Pascual Guerrero in Cali, the day before Feid’s announcement: “Hoy no es momento de celebración. Hoy es momento de estar unidos, de acompañar a quienes sufren y de levantar entre todos a nuestro país” (“Today isn’t a moment for celebration. Today is a moment to stand united, support those who are suffering, and lift our country back up together”), per El País Cali.

Rescheduling details are expected through organizers Awoo Team and Breakfast Live and ticket platform Tuboleta, according to Portafolio. His August 29 Bucaramanga date still stands, and he says he’s helping coordinate relief-supply flights with J Balvin and footballer Lamine Yamal.

What ticket holders should do

Neither team has published a formal refund or exchange policy in press coverage as of August 17, 2026 — reporting confirms both postponements and “no new date yet,” not what happens to existing tickets. Until an official policy lands, here’s where to look:

  • Feid ticket holders: check Taquilla Live and Feid’s Instagram directly — don’t assume a carryover policy.
  • Ryan Castro ticket holders (Cali): watch Tuboleta and the Awoo Team / Breakfast Live channels for rescheduling details.
  • Either show: Colombian venues typically carry paid tickets over once a new date is set, but treat that as likely, not guaranteed, until the promoters confirm it in writing.
  • New date: neither artist has announced one as of August 17, 2026 — both say updates will come through their own social channels.

What’s still on in Medellín

The earthquake’s epicenter struck near San José del Palmar, Chocó, roughly 105–130 miles from Medellín, according to the U.S. Embassy’s alert and USGS. The city’s event calendar mostly kept moving: the Feria de las Flores Súper Concierto at Atanasio Girardot went ahead August 8, before the quake, and MAMM Fest ran its full August 14–16 weekend afterward, undisrupted.

Centro de Eventos La Macarena itself hosted a full show days after the quake: the benefit concert “Colombia, Medellín Te Quiere” packed the venue on August 15 with more than 25 artists, including Luis Alfonso, Kapo, Pipe Bueno, and Juliana, raising roughly COP $6,000 million and 31 tons of aid for earthquake victims, per the Alcaldía de Medellín and Infobae. That’s the clearest evidence the venue itself wasn’t damaged or closed — Feid and Ryan Castro’s calls read as solidarity gestures rather than safety measures. A Jorge Celedón show is also listed for the venue on September 26, though that date comes only from ticket-aggregator listings, not a promoter or venue announcement — confirm with the box office before you build a trip around it.

If you planned Medellín travel specifically around Feid’s August 21 show, treat it as off the calendar until a new date lands, and watch his social channels — that’s where both artists say the announcements will come.

FAQ: Feid’s Medellín concert postponement

Is Feid’s Medellín concert cancelled or postponed? Postponed, not cancelled. Feid says he’ll return once he has a new date; he has not withdrawn the album launch, just delayed it out of respect for earthquake relief efforts.

Will ticket holders get a refund? No formal refund or exchange policy has been published by either team as of August 17, 2026. Colombian venues typically carry tickets over to the rescheduled date, but that isn’t guaranteed until Taquilla Live or Feid’s team confirm it in writing.

What’s the new date for the Feid or Ryan Castro shows? Neither artist has announced a new date as of August 17, 2026. Both say updates will come through their own social media and, for Ryan Castro’s Cali show, through Tuboleta and the Awoo Team/Breakfast Live channels.
