Promoter Explains Why Elias J. TV’s Anticipated US Tour Was Rescheduled
ELIAS – The Filipino online star Elias J. TV has rescheduled his America tour, leaving fans both disappointed and hopeful for new dates to be announced soon.
Elias J. TV, the social media sensation known for his comedic skits, relatable home content, and viral dance videos, was scheduled to bring his much-awaited tour to the United States this September. The original itinerary included stops on September 19 in Big Island, September 21 in Honolulu, September 23 in Maui, September 25 in Los Angeles, September 26 in Redwood City, September 27 in Las Vegas, and September 28 in Houston.
Just days before the kick-off, however, tour promoter Paduk Entertainment LLC announced that the shows would no longer push through on the said dates. The promoter clarified that the concerts were not canceled but rescheduled, citing no specific reason.
In an official Facebook post, Paduk Entertainment stated, “The Elias J. TV band USA Tour [has been] rescheduled [for] a later date as we align with exciting new opportunities. The updated tour dates, as well as any additional changes, will be announced in the coming weeks.”
The post further assured fans: “All purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled shows. If you prefer a refund, please request it at your original purchase. Thank you for your continued support. We can’t wait to bring you the Elias J. TV band experience soon.”
Speculations had circulated online that Elias’ visa application was denied due to his ongoing dispute with former manager Beverly Labadlabad. However, his legal team swiftly debunked the rumors.
Ronalyn Torreon, one of Elias’ legal representatives, wrote on Facebook: “Talk less, achieve more. US Visa approved! PS: Next time, fact-check before you choke on your own story.”
His lawyer, Israelito Torreon, also shared a legal victory on social media, confirming that the court issued a preliminary injunction in Elias’ favor against Labadlabad. He wrote, “Nag-issue na po talaga ng WRIT OF PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ang RTC Kidapawan City Branch 17… Panalo po si Elias at ang banda, at pumanig ang korte sa kanya.”
Meanwhile, the Filipino community in the US expressed disappointment over the postponement. The promoter highlighted the overwhelming excitement of fans, sharing photos and videos that showed tickets had sold out quickly.
