EXCLUSIVE Jennifer Lopez's international tour suffers multiple setbacks as date changes cause fury among fans
The 55-year-old singer announced her international tour, Up All Night, at the beginning of April, revealing she'll be performing over the summer.
'To all my international JLovers, I'll be doing a few select show dates over the summer. I can't wait to get back out there to see all of you. It's been too long. It's gonna be an amazing summer,' she informed her fans, while noting that they should 'stay tuned' for updates via her website.
Performing 19 shows in 11 different countries, Lopez will be taking the stage at various venues... from five-star hotels to music festivals and venues that hold less than 10,000 to stadiums that hold 20,000 people.
But selling tickets, apparently, isn't the problem for the pop star since many venues have already sold thousands of tickets. It's other chaos that has been happening behind-the-scenes that have caused some fans to become furious, Daily Mail can exclusively reveal.
In one instance, Lopez was expected to perform at the luxe five-star hotel, Rixos Radamis, in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on July 4th, but 'per her request,' the date has been postponed to July 30.
The 55-year-old has made many changes to her international tour that has caused chaos behind-the-scenes and led fans to become furious (pictured at the 2025 AMAs)
The 'most breathtaking aqua paradise' hotel informed followers on social media on June 28 - just six days before she was expected to be there, that, 'The Jennifer Lopez concert has been rescheduled to July 30 as per the artist request.'
This caused outrage from thousands of fans who booked rooms for the 4th of July weekend just to see her.
One person responded to the hotel's postponement announcement on Facebook, 'What about people who paid a lot of money to stay in your hotel to see Jennifer Lopez next week?'
Other fans, who voiced their outrage in Arabic on Instagram, wrote (via translation), 'From my point of view, it's the best of unprofessional attitude to your fans. Why advertise your concert in a few months and throw thousands of people away before the flight?'
Another fan said, 'She has changed the poster four times already. It's not that serious anymore. The scam of the century!'
Someone else commented, 'That's not fair. We all bought the [rooms] due to this performance, and now it is postponed. Very disappointed (crying emoji).'
Fans are demanding that their plane tickets are also refunded and are now skeptical if she'll even show up to Sharm El Sheikh, since the day prior, she has a performance in the United Arab Emirates. They believe it could be 'cancelled' last minute.
Guests who stay at the all-inclusive hotel are able to attend the concert for free, however, rates are expensive at $700-$2,000 per night.
This isn't the only time her tour dates have changed. Daily Mail has learned that Lopez was expected to perform at Regnum Carya Golf & Spa Resort in Antalya, Turkey, on August 5. But, this date was moved up to July 23.
The August 5 date is now another city in Turkey - at Festival Park Yenikapi in Istanbul.
The promoter wrote, 'The event, which was scheduled for August 5, has been [changed] to July 23. We apologize for any inconvenience, previously purchased tickets remain valid.'
Guests who stay at the five-star hotel, where rates are around $1,300 per night, need to make a reservation for a minimum of four nights in order to see her concert for free. However, fans can separately purchase tickets to her show online.
A source told Daily Mail that Istanbul was part of the additional tour dates that have been recently added along with Tashkent, Uzbekistan on August 7 and Almaty, Kazakhstan on August 10.
The source added: 'Extra dates have been added to her tour due to high demand. Jennifer will be announcing an additional date in a new city in the coming days.'
Another tour setback took place when there was a change in venue for her July 11 date in Spain - just two weeks before the concert.
The Spanish website, Sur in English, reported last month that her concert in Malaga had 'undergone a sudden change of venue.'
She turned heads as she arrived to rehearsals in a skintight low-cut pink catsuit
Instead of performing at Malaga's Estadio de Atletismo, Lopez will be performing at the Marenostrum stage in Fuengirola, which is a smaller venue. Rather than allowing a maximum of 27,500 attendees, per the site, Marenostrum allows 18,500 fans.
The promoter cited 'logistical reasons' behind the decision and apologized for the 'inconvenience' and asked for 'understanding'.
Although already-purchased tickets will remain valid, there was a price change for anyone buying tickets to the new stadium due to the difference in seating capacity.
A source told Daily Mail that despite these changes, ticket sales 'have been phenomenal' and 'some stadiums have even sold out.'
They continued, 'The tour promoter is very happy with how everything is going. The tour is in great shape and everyone is excited for it to kick off.'
Fans can purchase tickets to her international tour on various websites, but if they want a photo with the Latin singer herself, they will need to pay thousands.
An Albanian news website, Tirana Post, reports fans who attend her July 21 concert at the Lucca Summer Festival in Italy can purchase a VIP upgrade (which does not include entry to the concert) to participate in the meet and greet for '1,400 euros,' which comes to $1,650 USD.
What's even more expensive is purchasing the meet and greet tickets for her July 10 and July 11 tour dates in Cadiz and Fuengirola, Spain, respectively, for '1,700 euros,' which comes to $2,004 USD - plus whatever ticket for entry into the venue - according to Spanish News Today.
Daily Mail has reached out to Jennifer Lopez's rep for comment.
As seen in photos obtained by Daily Mail, JLo has been hard at work rehearsing for her upcoming tour. It kicks off at Parque Tafisa in Pontevedra, Spain, on July 8 and wraps on August 10 at Central Stadium in Almaty, Kazakhstan - although a surprise date is expected to be announced imminently.
Lopez's international tour - followed by her Las Vegas residency, which kicks off in December - comes over a year after she canceled her 2024 summer US tour, 'This is Me...Live,' which was scheduled to run June to August.
Lopez had announced at the time via a statement on her 'OntheJLo' website that she had decided to take some 'time off to be with her children, family and close friends.'
The songstress shares 17-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
She later said that taking time off was 'the best thing' she's ever done.
split just a month prior to making the cancelation announcement.

For Elvis, death has proved disturbingly good business
Elvis lives. A 'new' Elvis Presley album is out this week, Sunset Boulevard, comprising fresh mixes of songs recorded in Los Angeles between 1970 and 1975, two years before the King died. This was a period when Elvis was arguably at the top of his game as an entertainer, relentlessly touring America with a big, super-tight ensemble of outstanding musicians, flying in on his jet and collecting a million dollars a show. Yet he was at a critically low ebb, derided for embracing Las Vegas's cheesy showbiz values and pouring out subpar albums overstuffed with middle-of-the-road material barely fit for his stellar talents. Yet here we are, still sifting through his recordings for lost gems. An extended five-disc box set that includes 89 rarities, mainly rehearsals and out-takes, more than half of which have never come out officially before. Its chief selling point is that it features songs stripped of excess overdubs to give Elvis a more raw and contemporary sound. It makes you wonder where they find this stuff? What dusty vault still contains unreleased Elvis recordings more than half a century since he died? Elvis put out 24 studio albums and 17 soundtracks within a 21-year period between his recording debut aged 19 in 1954 and death aged 42 in August 1977. Since then, there have been a mind-boggling 307 posthumous compilations, 21 remix albums, 80 box sets and 271 special collectors' releases in the Follow That Dream series. That is a lot of music, and a lot of it is the same music, repackaged over and over again. The 'Elvis lives' slogan started appearing in the immediate aftermath of his televised funeral procession, as the world grappled with the sudden disappearance of this lightning-bolt figure who had symbolised such virility. Nearly half a century later, what started out as a kind of sentimental wish seems manifestly true in terms of the way Elvis has persisted as a fixture of popular culture. The curation of the Elvis legend and management of his estate have become object lessons in the commercial exploitation of posthumous music careers. Where Elvis treads, every ageing pop brand (and their heirs) can only aspire to follow. Mercifully it is not all exploitative tat like the much derided 'interactive experience' Elvis Evolution that opened in London in July, charging up to £300 for a bit of pimped-up video footage and some over-familiar memorabilia. Elvis racks up huge streaming numbers, with more than 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify. A close look at the statistics is fascinating. His key modern audience (according to music industry site Chartmetric) are not old rock'n'roll diehards but women between the ages of 25 and 34. His most popular song is not even one of his classic rockers but dreamily romantic 1961 ballad Can't Help Falling in Love, which has garnered over a billion Spotify streams. Connecting to new generations is crucial to posthumous longevity. You have to remain present in the streaming and social media mix, with constant new releases (archive or remixes), documentaries and films (Baz Luhrmann's 2022 Elvis biopic provided a huge boost to his income and image) and even live (or almost live) performances. The best example is probably Queen, who are Spotify's most streamed vintage musical artists at number 37, and have toured with substitute singers Paul Rodgers and Adam Lambert since the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elvis Presley's Graceland (@visitgraceland) If we include the Beatles (at 55), Nirvana (111), Bee Gees (335) and the Cranberries (482), there are just 14 deceased vintage 20th-century artists in Spotify's all-time top 500 streamers (Michael Jackson at 78, Bob Marley, 122, Tupac Shakur, 157, Elvis, 205, Frank Sinatra, 208, David Bowie, 224, the Notorious BIG, 249, Whitney Houston, 294, and film composer John Williams, 446). There are also a number of late contemporary 21st-century stars, including Amy Winehouse (343), Aviici (74) and rappers Juice Wrld (21), XXXTentacion (20), Mac Miller (70) and Pop Smoke (97). Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's streams skyrocketed this week following Osbourne's death, increasing between 1,000 and 2,000 per cent, hurling them into Spotify's current top 200 and establishing Ozzy as the number one heavy metal artist in the world. I wonder if Sabbath might be tempted to tour again with another singer, Queen style? The three surviving members were on incredible form at Ozzy's farewell concert, and it would almost be a shame if they let that music fade away. There would be no shortage of contenders, with great singers from pop star Yungblud to Rival Sons' Jay Buchanan and Lzzy Hale of Halestorm giving powerful renditions of Sabbath classics at that moving show. Death can be disturbingly good for business, as anyone who has pored over Forbes's ghoulishly fascinating annual chart of highest-earning dead celebrities can attest. Yet there are notable absences, too, from once-supreme bands and stars who appear to be fading from the firmament, such as the Doors, Marvin Gaye and even Jimi Hendrix. To protect your legacy, you have to work it. Elvis Presley's personal fortune at death was a modest $5m (around $20m/£15m adjusted for inflation). By 2022, it was estimated at more than $1bn, and he is still raking in around $100m a year, with his granddaughter, Riley Keough, his sole beneficiary following the death of her mother, Lisa-Marie, in 2023. Elvis is literally worth more dead than alive. Sunset Boulevard is out now On the Record I've been listening to Lord Huron's fine new album, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, a slice of atmospheric Americana with thoughtful lyrics, pitched somewhere between such unmodern influences as the Band and Chris Isaak. Movie star Kristen Stewart lends her moodily dramatic delivery to one track. The surprising thing is how popular this old-fashioned, rootsy US quartet are. One of their songs, The Night We Met, has accrued more than three billion plays on Spotify since its release in 2015. It is the 22nd most popular song of the streaming age, putting it ahead of anything by Taylor Swift (whose Cruel Summer is number 28 in all-time streams). Come critical lists and award season, I expect Jim Legxacy to be a contender for his intriguing second album, Black British Music. He is a singer, rapper and producer with an experimental bent married to sinuous pop craft, blending indie, rock and folk with quirky electronica and grime influences. It hints at the shapeshifting potential of such groundbreaking American producer-songwriters as Frank Ocean and Kanye West, and provides an interesting snapshot of a kind of uniquely British take on modern musical forms.

Careful who you take to Coldplay! Band's kiss-cam WILL be part of their UK shows after CEO was caught out with his human resources chief at US concert
Concertgoers should pay caution ahead of Coldplay 's UK gigs as their infamous kiss-cam that caught a CEO and his co-worker embracing, in what is now a viral moment, will be present. The band are set to play a series of concerts at Wembley, London, and Sewell Group Craven Park in Kingston upon Hull, this August and September. However fans should remain wary as they may make an appearance on the big screen. Dr Paul Sewell, chairman of rugby league team Hull Kingston Rovers, announced the internet-wide famous kiss cam would be making an appearance at the band's upcoming shows. It comes after former Astronomer CEO, Andy Byron, and his colleague Kristin Cabot, who was also the company's Chief People Officer, were caught lovingly embracing when the camera zoomed in on them. In a desperate bid to hide away, he ducked down while she turned away, however, their reaction only encouraged Coldplay's frontman, Chris Martin to quip: 'Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy.' And then the aftermath ensued, with the clip going viral online, remixed and dissected millions of times by online users, who eventually found the identities of the red-faced CEO and his HR colleague. But Dr Sewell couldn't resist poking fun at the moment, which is now cemented in history, jokingly warning others of the kiss-cam's presence at the UK concerts. 'Great to see Hulls Chiedu Oraka opening for Coldplay at Sewell Group Craven Park next month,' he wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Dr Paul Sewell, chairman of rugby league team Hull Kingston Rovers, announced the internet-wide famous kiss cam would be making an appearance at the band's upcoming shows 'Nice one! To all those who called this little residency with us a poor spoof: See you there! (or maybe not) To those Business sorts bringing their PAs - the 'Big Kiss Cam' will feature!!' It comes as Byron resigned from the billion-dollar company a mid a probe into the scandal. However, online people have been having a field day - from office romance memes to Coldplay-themed jokes, no one has been spared. TikTok sleuths turned into corporate HR experts overnight, while Twitter users transformed the drama into a soap opera with bite-sized episodes. Amid the drama, Chris Martin even got his digs in by cracking a joke during a concert in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday. Speaking to the crowd, he cheekily said: 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd.' 'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' Despite the internet exploding with hot takes, memes and mock statements, Andy Byron has yet to issue any public apology following his very public kiss-cam moment at the Coldplay concert. People have poked fun at the fact that Byron has resigned and Cabot has now been put on leave Several fake statements, designed to appear as heartfelt apologies, have been circulating online, including one where he allegedly quoted Coldplay's 'Fix You' and begged forgiveness from his wife and staff. One viral hoax even ended with the line: 'I hope one day she'll forgive me. But for now, I'll just let Coldplay fix me.' But Astronomer has confirmed that those statements are completely fake and did not come from Byron. The company also made it clear that only Byron and Chief People Officer Kristin Cabot were involved, and that a board-led investigation is underway. But some PR experts have waded in on the issue, saying the incident could work out in Astronomer's favour. Some have described it as a 'blessing in disguise' for a previously low-profile data company. It is not just social media users who are still talking about the situation. Huge brands such as Ikea, Ryanair, Tesla, and Frido have all jumped on the viral moment. The car maker tweeted: 'Posting a pic of you enjoying your loaner Tesla while your own one is in service is the equivalent of taking it to a Coldplay concert.' Frido also showed an image of Byron cuddling one of their pillows instead of Cabot. Its caption read: 'Bro could have just used our Cuddle Pillow and avoided all that embarrassment.'
