Ticket holders will receive a full refund. Credit cards used for purchase will be credited automatically; guests who purchased with cash will need to return the tickets to the ShoWare Box Office for a refund. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

Seattle radio station MOViN 92.5 announced the concert last month and were the promoters of the concert. Brooke and Jubal are DJs from 6-10 a.m. weekdays on 92.5.

Kent city officials were looking forward to the concert featuring chart-topping artists who have produced 17 top-10 songs and seven Grammy victories. City and ShoWare officials are trying to draw more well-known artists in order to cut revenue losses at the city-owned arena.
