Ricky Martin canceled his concert in Georgia only a day before the show was scheduled to kick off. Refunds will be issued at the point of purchase.

Puerto Rican star Ricky Martin has canceled his concert in Georgia at the Rustavi International Motorpark, which was scheduled for Thursday, July 16. The promoter, Park Live, announced the cancellation on its Instagram page, noting that the decision to cancel was made by the artist himself.

“For reasons beyond our control and inexplicable to us, the artist has decided to cancel the concert. Refunds for purchased tickets will be processed through the ticketing platform,” the statement reads.

Ticket buyers should also have received an email informing them of the cancellation, noting that “funds will be returned to the same bank card from which the ticket was purchased,” which may take 3-5 business days.

“We inform you that the Ricky Martin concert scheduled for July 16, 2026, at the Rustavi International Motorpark has been canceled by the singer’s decision,” the email reads.

It’s unclear why Martin decided to pull the plug on the show, but many artists have issued similar last-minute cancellations in recent months. These include Rod Stewart, who cited a respiratory illness, and Lil Wayne, who has a notable history of showing up late or not at all.

Fans looking to catch Ricky Martin in concert will be pleased to learn the singer has new dates in Las Vegas this fall, as does country star Brad Paisley.

Martin will take the stage at BleauLive Theater inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas for two shows over the Halloween weekend—his first performances at the venue. He is scheduled to perform at 8 PM on October 30 and 31. Tickets are on sale as of Friday at 10 AM PT.

Paisley will return to the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas for two nights at 8 PM on November 6 and 7. Tickets are on sale now.
